Flight operations were disrupted at the Delhi airport on December 26 as 12 flights were diverted and scores of flights delayed due to bad weather.
A total of 12 flights were diverted between 06 a.m. and 12 p.m. Out of them, 11 flights were diverted to Jaipur and 1 to Lucknow due to dense fog, an official said.
As per information available on the Delhi airport website, more than 30 flights were delayed in the morning.
In a post on X, DIAL gave a fog alert at around 7:30 a.m. saying that while landing and take offs continue at the Delhi airport, flights that are not CAT III compliant may get affected.
CAT III pertains to operating flights when the visibility is quite low. "Passengers are requested to contact the airline concerned for updated flight information. Any inconvenience caused is deeply regretted," the Delhi International Airport Ltd (DIAL) said in the post.
While residents are worried over deaths due to diarrhoea in Vijayawada, officials still grapple to find the root cause. Contaminated drinking water supplied by VMC officials is the reason, insist people in the affected areas, but officials insist that efforts are on to identify the disease and that those with symptoms other than diarrhoea too are visiting the health camps.
