Bhubaneswar: A thick fog engulfed Odisha’s twin cities in the early hours of Monday resulting in a drop in visibility to as low as 30-40 metres.

According to India Meteorological Department (IMD), Bhubaneswar witnessed the maximum fog density.

Meanwhile, the departure of IndiGo flights to Pune, Kolkata, Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, and Hyderabad, was also delayed from Bhubaneswar airport.
