CHANDIGARH: The fog resulted in the train schedule going haywire and many trains arriving late at the local railway station here. The delay in arrival varied from 45 minutes to 16 hours. The least delayed train was Himalyan Queen from Delhi, whereas the train which took maximum time for arrival was Unchahar Express from Allahabad as it reached almost 16 hours late.Since railways do not have technology to improve visibility during fog, so reducing the speed of trains is the only option. Due to the delay many passengers were forced to change their meetings or cancel them altogether. Many people who had came to pick up their relatives or acquaintances had to wait for hours for the trains to arrive. "I had to attend a meeting in Chandigarh but as my train got so delayed, I had to cancel it", said a Ajay Mehra, a passenger.
