Additionally, conditions related to dense fog are expected to continue in the morning hours in some sections over Odisha until Tuesday, and Rajasthan, West Uttar Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh until Wednesday. Also, similar foggy weather conditions will reign over the states like Meghalaya, Assam, Nagaland, Mizoram, Manipur, and Tripura between Wednesday and Saturday, and over Punjab and Haryana from December 28-30.
