• With winter approaching, Indian Railways is preparing for foggy conditions that could impact train operations.
• Around 50,000 loco pilots across various railway zones are undergoing safety counselling to ensure safe operations during low-visibility conditions caused by fog.

Impact & Risks

Foggy conditions during winter pose significant risks to train operations, including reduced visibility for loco pilots, which can lead to delays and accidents. The safety counselling aims to mitigate these risks by equipping loco pilots with the necessary skills and precautions to operate trains safely in challenging weather. Passengers may experience delays, especially in regions prone to dense fog, such as northern India.
