The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast 'dense to very dense fog' for the plain regions of Dehradun, Udhamsingh Nagar, and Haridwar over the next four days. Sharma notes that while visibility has slightly improved in Dehradun, it remains poor in other districts, disrupting traffic and posing serious risks to travelers. The journalist emphasizes the IMD's warning for commuters to exercise caution as the foggy conditions have led to accidents in the past. Additionally, the report highlights that the Air Quality Index (AQI) is persisting between the 240 and 280 mark, adding to the environmental challenges. Temperatures in the plain areas have also dropped by one to two degrees over the last week, further exacerbating the winter chill.
