Delhi, Noida experiencing dense fog
It is worth mentioning the Delhi-Noida region has been experiencing dense fog for the past two days, resulting in low visibility on the roads. Moreover, extreme pollution in the area has also reduced visibility even in the daytime. According to the System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting And Research (SAFAR), the overall Air Quality Index (AQI) in the national Capital on Tuesday morning was 378, which is in the 'very poor' category. This resulted in fatal road accidents.
