Fri Jan 17 03:43:25 UTC 2025: ## Delhi Wakes to Dense Fog, But Pollution Levels Ease

**New Delhi, India** – Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR) awoke to a chilly morning today, shrouded in dense fog that caused significant disruption to traffic. However, improved air quality following yesterday’s rainfall has led to the lifting of GRAP-4 restrictions.

While the fog and cold are causing travel difficulties, yesterday’s light rain has brought some relief from the intense cold that prevailed earlier. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert for dense fog over the next three days.

The improved air quality is a welcome change, allowing the easing of pollution control measures. The focus now shifts to managing the travel challenges presented by the dense fog. Meanwhile, political tensions remain high, with Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Sanjay Singh accusing the BJP of illegally arresting Kejriwal and demanding an apology. Additionally, road diversions are planned for several Delhi roads from January 17th to 21st, urging commuters to check route plans in advance.
