Dense fog caused major disruptions across several regions of the Telugu states on Friday. At Gannavaram airport, visibility was significantly reduced, leading to the diversion of an IndiGo flight that was circling in the air after arriving from Hyderabad. Unable to land due to unfavorable weather conditions, the flight was redirected to Rajahmundry.
In addition to flight disruptions, vehicular traffic on the Hyderabad-Vijayawada National Highway was severely affected. Motorists struggled to navigate through dense fog, with reduced visibility making it difficult to see even nearby vehicles. As a result, vehicles moved slowly, relying on headlights for better visibility. The fog impacted several key cities, including Hyderabad, Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam, and Tirupati, causing significant delays and safety concerns.
