Dense fog disrupted the train services in North India for the third consecutive day today, with around 50 Delhi-bound trains, including Rajdhanis, running behind schedule.

Timings of two trains leaving from Delhi this morning were rescheduled, a Northern Railway spokesperson said.

Close to 50 Delhi-bound trains were running four to seven hours behind schedule because of poor visibility, the spokesperson said.

The official also said most of the trains running late were from eastern states, including Rajdhanis, from Howrah, Sealdah, Bhubaneshwar and Ranchi.

All these trains were running two to four hours behind schedule and the departure of these trains was likely to be rescheduled, he said.

Indian railways has already cancelled a few trains to ensure better management of traffic movement during the foggy weather.
