Fog havoc in Delhi, Grap-4 back as air turns severe

Dense fog in Delhi caused near-zero visibility until noon, disrupting air, rail, and road traffic. The resulting spike in air pollution led to severe levels by evening, prompting the enforcement of Grap-4 pollution control measures. These include a ban on certain vehicles, halting construction, and the hybrid operation of schools. Visibility began improving after midday.
