The services were affected as visibility was reduced considerably on Monday morning due to a dense layer of fog that extended from Punjab and adjoining Rajasthan to Bihar through Haryana, Delhi and Uttar Pradesh.

Low visibility has led to slow movement of trains in several parts of North India also, the railways said. Several long running trains reaching Delhi and surrounding states running two hours to five hours late.
