Low visibility hits traffic, slows down rail services
On Saturday, Mumbai and neighbouring cities witnessed an unusual fog cover, which had led to low visibility on roads. Rail movement was also affected. At Kalyan, trains services were delayed due to low visibility after which commuters staged a rail roko at Vasind Station. Officials from the Indian Meteorological Department's (IMD) regional centre have called this a passing phenomenon, following cyclone Ockhi.
