Early on Saturday morning, Rourkela City had heavy fog, which greatly hampered visibility and caused inhabitants' difficulty. In addition to the metropolis, neighboring places including Bisra, Lathikata, Kuarmunda, and Kalunga were also affected by the dense fog. On a number of routes, visibility plummeted to as low as 50 meters, making travel difficult, especially in the early morning.
The fog continued until eight in the morning, so drivers had to use their headlights as a safety measure. Residents seemed to be loving the winter weather and carried on with their morning activities despite the poor visibility. The thick fog conditions didn't seem to be getting any better by nine in the morning.

According to reports, Rourkela's temperatures have been dropping for the last seven to ten days, which has added to the city's winter chills. Roads are still partially obstructed due to the chilly weather and heavy fog.
It has been recommended that both pedestrians and drivers use caution when navigating the roads. Even if the fog has presented some difficulties, locals are taking advantage of the seasonal weather by striking a balance between outdoor activities and safety precautions.
throughout the upcoming days, low temperatures and fog are predicted to persist throughout the city.
