More than 60 trains derailed, 8 trains cancelled from Indian National Capital Delhi due to Smog




Delhi Smog:Indian Railways has 69 trains delayed, 22 rescheduled and 8 cancelled due to heavy smog in Delhi NCR and other parts of North India.

The cancelled trains include -- New Delhi-Varanasi Mahanama Express, Delhi-Azamgarh Kaifiyat Express, Anand Vihar-Mau Express, Sriganganagar-Delhi Intercity, Delhi-Fazlika Intercity, Delhi-Alipurdwar Mahananda Express and Raxual-Delhi Sadbhawana Express.

Delhi saw a moderately smoggy Monday morning with the minimum temperature at 12.4 degrees Celsius, a notch below the season's average.


Indian national capital has been experiencing dense smog for about a week, forcing authorities to enforce emergency measures such as banning construction activities and brick kilns in the National Capital Region.

The Delhi government had announced "odd-even" rationing of cars for five days from today, but deferred its implementation after the National Green Tribunal ordered the withdrawal of exemptions given to women and two-wheelers under the scheme.

 The MeT department predicted clear skies later today."The maximum temperature is expected to hover at 28 degrees Celsius," it said.
