Watch: Commuters ride cars, bikes braving zero visibility as dense fog engulfs Delhi-NCR
Visibility plunged across parts of Delhi and NCR due to dense fog covering the regions.
As extreme fog continues to engulf Delhi and NCR, several visuals of people riding bikes and driving their cars in zero visibility have emerged on social media.
“Today #delhi condition #delhifog. Literally you can’t see anything today. Heavy fog today—visibility almost zero. Cars literally seemed to vanish,” an individual tweeted. The video he shared shows him capturing the scene in front of him from the side of the road. Cars, almost instantly after passing him, disappear behind the thick curtain of fog.
