New Delhi, Dec 19: Dense fog over North India triggered large-scale disruption of train services today with over 100 trains arriving “inordinately late” in the city and over three dozen being resheduled.
The worst affected were trains coming from the eastern states, some of them running late by a day. “Poor visibility reduced the train speed considerably which ran at a snails pace,” said a Northern Railway spokesperson.
There was a major bunching of trains on the busy Howrah-Delhi route during the day, the spokesperson said, adding over 120 trains arrived in the city inordinately late.
Almost all the Rajdhanis bound for East were rescheduled for the day while passengers had to wait for long hours in major stations of the Capital to board for their destination.
Railways had earlier cancelled close to 30 trains to cope with late running of trains during poor visibility.
According to the spokesperson, trains which were running late by more than a day include the Mahabodhi express from Gaya, Garib Rath express from Bhagalpur, and Neelanchal express from Puri.
Railways has already instructed officials on board trains to ensure adequate stock of food and milk on trains. Signalling systems on busy routes have been suitably modified to avoid collision in foggy weather conditions, the spokesperson said.
