Although daytime cold has reduced, thick fog before sunrise continues to cause serious problems. As a result, daily travel has become risky, especially on major highways.

Visibility has dropped sharply on national highways. In several places, it has fallen below 10 meters.

Therefore, drivers struggle to spot vehicles coming from the opposite side. The fog cover remains heavy even after 9 am in some stretches.

Because of poor visibility, several vehicles have collided. Recently, four lorries crashed into each other on the Hyderabad to Bengaluru highway.

This accident led to traffic jams stretching several kilometres. Meanwhile, fog has also disrupted flight operations, causing inconvenience to air passengers.
