There was dense fog in the capital Jaipur for the second consecutive day on Wednesday morning. According to the Meteorological Department, due to very low wind speed and high humidity, the fog is not clearing quickly. Due to fog, sunlight is not able to come out, due to which there is a feeling of cold even during the day.
