Dundh he dhund nazar aa rahy hai har taraf! As the temperature drops, dense fog grips the capital. The visibility is very poor and almost near zero. The weather in the country is extremely dry and cold. In such conditions, it’s always good to be careful. The spread of covid-19 is also becoming a major issue, so it’s better not to go outside unnecessarily. Stay indoors, stay safe.

The flight and train schedules are affected. The traffic on the roads is also slow. Motorists should not apply sudden breaks and use fog lights in such circumstances.

Stay safe. Do not travel unnecessarily. People using motorway and GT road should travel in the day time and turn on their fog lights.

The air quality has also been not very good due to the increasing pollution. The smog in recent years has also affected health. It is difficult for people with respiratory issues. It is better to stay indoors so that the situation does not worsen for more people.
Keep yourself warm and take healthy food to fight against cold, flu, fever, etc. It is better to take precautions rather than getting sick. Wear a mask when you are outside, sanitize and maintain social distance.
Better safe than sorry.
