आज रविवार को चंडीगढ़ एवं इसके आसपास के इलाको में इस मौसम की पहली धुंध पड़ी। धुंध इतनी घनी थी कि विजिबिलिटी 50 मीटर से भी कम थी। धुंध का असर सड़क यातायात पर भी देखने को मिला। आलम यह था कि सड़क पर चलने वाले ज्यादातर वाहनों की फाग लाइट आन थी और स्पीड भी सामान्य दिनों के मुकाबले कम थी। रविवार होने की वजह से सड़क पर यातायात कम था, इसलिए वाहन चालकों को जाम की स्थिति का सामना नहीं करना पड़ा।
वहीं मौसम विभाग का कहना है कि अगले 48 घंटे घनी धुंध पड़ेगी, इसके साथ ही ठंड का भी प्रकोप बढ़ेगा। मौसम विभाग के निदेशक के सुरेंद्र पाल ने बताया कि रविवार इस साल का सबसे ठंडा दिन रहा। दिन के समय में शहर का तापमान 13 डिग्री सेल्सियस दर्ज किया गया, हालांकि यह किसी तरह का रिकार्ड नहीं है, लेकिन फिर ठंड काफी बढ़ गई है। उन्होंने बताया कि इस हफ्ते बारिश की संभावना नहीं है, लेकिन पहाड़ों में बर्फबारी की वजह आने वाले दिनों में ठंड और बढ़ेगी। इसलिए लोग अपना ध्यान रखें। चंडीगढ़ इंटरनेशनल एयरपोर्ट के प्रवक्ता ने बताया कि चंडीगढ़ इंटरनेशनल एयरपोर्ट पर कैट-2 इंस्टाल है। इसलिए फ्लाइट संचालन के लिए 350 मीटर की विजिबिलिटी चाहिए होती है, लेकिन रविवार को एयरफोर्स की टीम सुबह आठ बजे से डेढ़ बजे तक रनवे की मेंटेनेंस करती है। इसलिए फ्लाइट संचालन बंद रहता है। हालांकि सुबह-सुबह चंडीगढ़ एयरपोर्ट से उड़ान भरने वाली फ्लाइट्स का समय पर संचालन हुआ और यात्रियों को कोई परेशानी नहीं हुई।
