Bhubaneswar: Dense fog disrupted traffic on busy roads and highways in the state. In Rourkela, the fog was particularly severe, reducing visibility to below 50 meters this morning.
The fog has made driving conditions extremely hazardous, with many roads and highways becoming virtual blind spots. According to sources, the reduced visibility has also led to slower traffic speeds, causing congestion and delays on major routes.
The concerned authorities have advised motorists to exercise extreme caution when driving in foggy conditions and to slow down to avoid accidents. They have also recommended using low-beam headlights and fog lights to improve visibility.
The dense fog has also affected daily life in the state, with many people struggling to commute to work and school. The fog is expected to continue throughout the day, with temperatures remaining low.
Residents and commuters have been advised to stay tuned to local weather forecasts and traffic updates to plan their journeys accordingly.
After a brief period of disruption caused by dense fog, roads in the affected areas have been reopened, and vehicular traffic has resumed as usual. The fog, which had reduced visibility to below 50 meters in some areas, has started to clear.
