Trains from North India running late by over 6 hours due to heavy fog

Most express trains from New Delhi and other northern states are running late by four-five hours due to heavy fog, railway officials said on Sunday.

New Delhi- Chennai grand trunk express, New Delhi- Chennai express, Hazrat Nizamuddin-Visakhapatnam link, New Delhi-Thiruvananthapuram Kerala express and many other trains arrived late by more than six hours on Sunday at the Vijayawada railway station.
