Delhi News: Delhi-NCR reported relatively less fog on Tuesday morning compared to the dense conditions witnessed on Monday. Although the India Meteorological

\n\n

Department (IMD) had forecast dense fog, visibility remained largely clear. However, the city shivered as the minimum temperature dipped to 10°C overnight. The national capital continues to grapple with toxic air, prompting authorities to enforce Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) Stage 4. The overall AQI in Delhi today recorded at 387 early Tuesday. Meanwhile, the Delhi Airport fight status on Monday saw a massive hit, with over 200 trips cancelling due to runway visibility dropping to nearly zero.
