Trains across the northern grid are suffering delays stretching from a few hours to an alarming 13-17 hours, turning routine journeys into ordeals for thousands. The human cost is immediate, commuters stranded in freezing conditions, missing work, appointments, and family commitments, while businesses face disrupted supply chains. These recurring winter disruptions expose a deeper vulnerability in India's rail backbone, translating into tangible productivity losses and a broader drag on economic momentum.

Advanced tools like GPS-enabled Fog Pass devices and the much-touted Kavach anti-collision system are in place, yet they fail to prevent massive delays when fog turns dense. Safety protocols force trains to crawl at restricted speeds, revealing the limits of current technology in extreme weather. Beyond winter, chronic issues such as staff shortages, over-utilised tracks, and delayed maintenance suggest that punctuality remains elusive year-round, not merely a seasonal headache.

Countries like Japan, China, and parts of Europe manage reliable winter operations through cold-resistant infrastructure, advanced signaling, and dedicated freight corridors that ease congestion. India, by contrast, operates one of the world's densest networks with relatively modest investment in modernisation. A serious commitment to full Kavach rollout, track doubling, and dedicated passenger lines is overdue if the Railways truly aims to match global standards.

Dense fog shrouded Delhi on Monday, causing visibility to drop sharply in several areas, disrupting operations at the airport and pushing the air quality back into the 'severe' category.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah has launched a sharp attack, accusing the Mamata government of operating a "toll syndicate" in welfare schemes and turning Bengal into a hub for corruption and illegal Bangladeshi infiltration. In response, Mamata Banerjee has labelled the ongoing special revision of electoral rolls a massive "AI scam" aimed at disenfranchising voters. With assembly elections looming in 2026, both sides are clearly drawing battle lines on governance, security, and democratic fairness.
