• Dense fog blanketed 15 cities in Uttar Pradesh, including Lucknow, Unnao, and Kushinagar, on Thursday morning, reducing visibility to as low as 50 metres in rural areas.
• This weather condition disrupted flight operations at Noida Airport, delaying five flights by 30 to 50 minutes and leading to the cancellation of a Jaipur-Noida flight.

Impact & Risks

The dense fog has caused significant disruptions to air travel, affecting passengers at Noida Airport. Poor visibility poses risks for road commuters, especially in rural areas. The high AQI levels in Noida and Ghaziabad present health risks, particularly for children, the elderly, and individuals with respiratory conditions. The shift to hybrid schooling aims to protect young students from exposure to poor air quality. The drop in temperatures may lead to increased cold-related illnesses, especially among vulnerable populations.
