Dense fog and smog enveloped Lahore today, leading to widespread disruptions in both train and flight schedules. The thick haze, caused by a combination of weather conditions and air pollution, reduced visibility to hazardous levels, impacting daily travel for thousands of commuters.
Train services at the Lahore Railway Station were significantly delayed, with several trains either arriving late or being canceled due to safety concerns related to low visibility. Passengers were advised to check for real-time updates as delays continued throughout the day.
Similarly, flight schedules at Allama Iqbal International Airport were affected, with several incoming and outgoing flights delayed or rerouted. Airport authorities have urged travelers to contact airlines for the latest information regarding their flights.
Local authorities have issued advisories, urging residents to stay indoors if possible and to take precautions while traveling. The situation is expected to improve only when the fog and smog begin to clear later in the day.
Environmental experts have warned that the combination of dense fog and high pollution levels could have long-term health effects, particularly for individuals with respiratory conditions.
