A blanket of dense fog of the season engulfed the state capital Bhopal on Tuesday making it difficult to see even 50 meters away.
People were passing through the streets with their vehicle lights on. Here, most of the schools in the city opened at the old time. Due to the cold, the timing of schools has been changed from 10 am till January 20. The Meteorological Department has also predicted light rain on Tuesday.
The city was engulfed in fog during the night itself. The effect of fog increased in the morning. There was dense fog even till 9 in the morning. The Meteorological Department has predicted that the weather will remain the same throughout the day.
Fog affected Bhopal Airport on Tuesday. The flight coming from Delhi to Bhopal landed at 9:15 am instead of 7:40 am. The main reason for this is low visibility on the runway.
More than 20 trains going to Mumbai via Delhi are getting late every day for the last one week. This mainly includes many main trains including Vande Bharat Shatabdi Bhopal Express. All these trains are getting late by 3 hours to 20 hours. Let us tell you that about 230 trains pass through Bhopal daily up and down.
Compared to the last eight days, the coolness on Tuesday morning was less, but the effect of fog was more. This happened because there were no cold winds.
The Meteorological Department has predicted light rain in many areas of Bhopal today. This may cause a drop in daytime temperature. The temperature was recorded at 24.3 degrees Celsius on Monday.
Bhopal is in the thick of fog. Due to fog it became difficult to see even 50 meters away. From tomorrow all schools will start at the same time. The Education Department had issued a new order on Monday night regarding the timing of schools. In which there were orders to start all morning shift schools from 10 am till January 20.
District Education Officer Anjani Kumar Tripathi said that information was given to all the schools in the night itself. Due to lack of information reaching parents, only some schools have started on new timings.
