Uttar Pradesh wakes to a blanket of impenetrable fog on Saturday (December 20), erasing the iconic Taj Mahal from view and grinding daily life to a halt across the state. Visibility plummets to near zero in Agra, Ayodhya, and beyond, prompting school delays, travel chaos, and viral social media mockery dubbing the wonder “Fog Mahal.” The India Meteorological Department (IMD) warns of persistent haze through Sunday (December 21) under an ‘orange alert’, as cold snaps bite into north India.
