Dense fog conditions are set to affect parts of Andhra Pradesh, prompting officials to issue a fog alert for three districts. Visibility may drop sharply, creating risky travel conditions, especially during early morning and night hours. Authorities have urged commuters to remain cautious over the next two days.
Fog to Impact Alluri, Bapatla, and Nellore
The alert covers Alluri Sitarama Raju, Bapatla, and Nellore districts. Thick fog has already spread across several agencies and hilly areas. As a result, daily travel has become difficult for residents and commuters.
In many places, fog has reduced visibility to a dangerous level. Therefore, drivers are facing delays and uncertainty on key routes.
Travel Turns Risky in Hilly and Ghat Areas
Travel has become especially dangerous in high-altitude regions and forest zones. Ghat roads with sharp curves and steep slopes pose a serious risk under foggy conditions. Moreover, dense tree cover further limits visibility in these stretches.
Because of these factors, even experienced drivers are finding it hard to navigate safely. Residents are avoiding non-essential travel where possible.
Drivers Advised to Use Fog Lights
Officials have advised motorists to use fog lights while driving. In addition, they have urged drivers to maintain low speeds and safe distances. These steps can reduce the risk of accidents during poor visibility.
Authorities are also monitoring traffic movement in sensitive zones to prevent mishaps.
Fog Likely to Continue for Two More Days
The fog impact is expected to remain high for the next two days. Meanwhile, officials continue to issue alerts to keep the public informed. Passengers and drivers have been asked to stay alert and plan journeys carefully.
Overall, the situation calls for caution, patience, and responsible driving until visibility improves.
