Ludhiana, Dec. 20 -- Dense fog disrupted rail and road traffic across Ludhiana on Friday morning, leaving passengers stranded for hours as at least 10 trains and around 67 Punjab Roadways and PRTC buses were delayed due to poor visibility, severely affecting travel at the railway station and the interstate bus stand.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) had issued an orange alert for dense fog on Thursday, which was upgraded to a red alert on Friday morning. The weather department has predicted the likelihood of western disturbances over north India by December 20, which could bring light rainfall to parts of Punjab and improve visibility. No fog alert has been issued for the weekend so far.
