The President, who was to arrive in the city in the morning, is likely to arrive only by the afternoon, officials said.

The President is on a day-long visit to the city where he will be addressing a summit organised by alumni of the Indian Institute of Technology and also inaugrating new facilities at the Jaslok Hospital in south Mumbai.

Dense fog at the Delhi airport led to flight delays early this morning with visibility dipping to 75 metres early this morning, forcing activation of CAT-III instrument landing system.
