Flight operations were affected at the Chennai International Airport due to poor visibility amid dense fog conditions in Tamil Nadu.

Air India, on its official handle on X, requested the passengers to check their flight status before heading to the airport.

"Poor visibility may impact flight operations to and from Chennai and some cities in Southern India, like Tirupati and Tiruchirapalli. Kindly check your flight status before heading to the airport," the airline said.

The Indian Meteorological Department has not issued any warning for Southern India for the next six days.

Meanwhile, as cold waves envelop the national capital, several flights were delayed at IGI Airport due to fog. Homeless individuals sought refuge in night shelters in the national capital as the winter chill intensifies in Northern India.

According to the IMD, dense fog conditions are very likely in the Delhi/NCR region and an orange alert was issued regarding the same.

Air quality monitoring stations in Delhi have reported concerning pollution levels across the city. According to CPCB data, the AQI of the national capital recorded 285.
