New Delhi: The dense fog disrupted rail traffic today, slowing down 47 trains, mostly Delhi bound, with railway authorities forced to reschedule their arrival and departure timings. Almost all Rajdhani trains coming from across the country, including Bangalore, Bilaspur, Bhubaneswar, Howrah, Guwahati, Sealdah and Patna, are running behind schedule by three to four hours.

According to Northern Railway data, Unchahar Express is running 10 hours late while Rewa Express and Shiv Ganga Express are behind schedule by eight and five hours respectively. Railways has instructed loco pilots to run trains at restricted speed during the fog as a safety exercise. PTI
