New Delhi [India], Jan 18 (NT): As the cold wave continues to escalate across Northern India, train services on Thursday have been choked due to heavy fog, 39 trains were delayed, 15 cancelled and 11 rescheduled due to low visibility.The passengers have been informed to check the train status of the train before undertaking their journey.The status of these trains will also be broadcast to the passengers on their respective registered mobile numbers.The fog makes the visibility very low and trains have to run at a highly-restricted speed to ensure the safety of the passengers which leads to considerable delays in the movement of trains.The status of these trains will be observed periodically keeping in view the strength of fog and decisions to restore some of the trains may be taken, as and when operationally feasible.The national capital Delhi had been experiencing chilling cold since this winter season.

As per the Meteorological Department, the maximum temperature will be 25 degree Celsius, with lows of five degrees.Furthermore, a dense layer of fog is expected to be seen during the day. (NT)
