Dense fog is causing near-zero visibility during morning and evening hours, leading commuters and pedestrians to risk their lives by crossing roads at undesignated spots. This dangerous practice is observed on city roads and highways, with individuals citing shortcuts as a reason. While some pedestrians claim to take precautions, shopkeepers urge police action against rule violators who endanger others. Traffic police state they conduct awareness campaigns but note a lack of public adherence, advising against shortcuts and promoting designated crossings.
