Hyderabad Police Commissioner V.C. Sajjanar has urged citizens to avoid driving in dense fog, especially during Sankranti travel rush, warning that poor visibility increases accident risk and advising motorists to prioritise safety over speed.
Three persons, including a minor, died and two others were seriously injured when a speeding car rammed a road divider amid dense fog in Sathupally, Khammam. Police urged commuters to avoid early morning travel due to poor visibility and fog-related risks.
The visibility dropped to a mere 300 meters at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, Shamshabad, marking the first instance of such low visibility this winter season
