Despite all efforts and use of latest techniques and technologies like fog safe devices and detonators, the Indian Railways has not been able to battle back nature. Poor visibility during winters is a bane for travellers on Indian Railways, but the transporter has not been able to reduce train delays and cancellations due to this factor. In the latest move that will affect thousands of passengers daily, the public transporter has cancelled around 30 trains for two months and has diverted/short-terminated many others due to the fog.
"Ministry of Railways has decided the cancellation, partial cancellation, reduction in frequency and diversion of trains with effect from 13th December 2018 to 15th February 2019," said the Indian Railways.
These trains are linked to northern states like Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, and Madhya Pradesh.
Some of the key trains which have been cancelled include express trains, intercity trains and double-decker train.

No only this, the railways has also reduced the frequency of as many as 25 trains. The frequency of many trains has been reduced to twice a week from 7 days a week. Check out the list of trains with frequency reduction:
On the other hand, as many as 3 trains have been partially cancelled and 4 have been diverted due to the fog. Below is the list of these trains:
Earlier, the Northern Railways had devised an action plan to combat foggy season and decided to provide 2,648 fog safety devices in trains to ensure safety and punctuality. A fog safety device is a GPS based equipment which provides advance warning to loco pilots about approaching signal.
However, it appears that commuters will have to bear the burnt of cancelled trains again this year. Due to the fog, the punctuality of the trains is also expected to get affected.
