New Delhi: On Thursday morning, a blanket of dense fog shrouded parts of Delhi, with the minimum temperature dipping to 7°C, as per the India Meteorological Department (IMD). Despite the reduced visibility, flight operations at Delhi Airport remained unaffected, thanks to established low-visibility management protocols.
