The dense fog compelled drivers to use fog lights, with cars cautiously navigating through the misty surroundings. The reduced visibility not only hindered the flow of traffic but also posed a considerable challenge to pedestrians and commuters, urging them to exercise extra caution while traversing the fog-laden streets.
Director MeT, Dr. Mukhtar Ahmad told Rising Kashmir that there is no significant weather activity till the end of December. Prevailing weather conditions will continue till December 31st in the Himalayan region, he said.
Dr Mukhtar said during the next 48 hours, there will be more decrease in minimum temperatures and foggy weather will continue to engulf the region.

Traffic Department Srinagar has advised commuters to carefully strategize their journeys, taking into account the current weather conditions. Emphasizing the significance of visibility, they stress the use of fog lights and strict adherence to traffic guidelines to ensure the safety of all road users.
Director Srinagar International Airport, Javed Anjum told Rising Kashmir that the airport experienced delays in morning flights due to foggy weather conditions. However, after visibility improved after 2 PM, flights operated normally later in the day, he said.
Similarly, Chief Area Manager (CAM) Kashmir, Saqib Yousuf Yatoo (IRTS), said that there were initial delays in the morning attributable to foggy weather. However, he reassured that later in the day, all services between Baramulla and Banihal operated seamlessly without any deviations.
