Bitter cold wave, thick fog cover enveloping Delhi troubles daily commuters

New Delhi, Jan 16 (ANI): Bone chilling cold wave sweeping across north India with thick fog cover enveloping the region has made commuting a taxing task for office goers and passengers who have to make it on time to catch their flights or trains. Dense fog cover wrapping New Delhi again on Thursday caused trouble for the daily commuters due to poor visibility resulting in traffic bottlenecks on roads. Rail operations have again been hit with dozens of trains running behind schedule or have been cancelled. The auto drivers say that waiting for long hours for passengers on the road sides and dropping people braving harsh weather conditions is tough as state government has made no arrangements for them to keep warm during working hours.

Seoul, New Delhi share concerns on North Korea's nuclear agenda, urge compliance

New Delhi, Jan 16 (ANI): South Korean President Park Geun-Hye said on Thursday, India shared its concerns on North Korea's ambitious nuclear weapon programme and urged its neighbour to comply with international obligations on the nuclear front. Park arrived in New Delhi on Wednesday for an official four-day visit that would conclude on January 18. South Korea's first woman President held delegation level talks with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and discussed bilateral, regional and global issues. Park's ongoing visit to India also seems to have pushed forward the much embattled POSCO project that has been hobbled by delays in getting clearances, acquiring land and obtaining an iron ore mining licence. Meanwhile the South Korean leader also appreciated India's move to revise the long pending Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh agreed with President Park to bolster trade ties between the two countries and said India was ready to offer greater avenues and opportunities to Korean businesses.
