“The trains in this division run through open areas where dense fog disturbs visibility. If the delay is more than eight to 10 hours, it starts affecting the next day’s schedule and triggers a vicious cycle of delays. So we go for planned cancellation in advance,” one official was quoted as saying by TOI.
He said the fog situation would escalate as we enter deep into the winter, especially from mid-December to mid-January. “So we advise people to check their ticket and train status before leaving home for the journey,” he added.
