The season's first fog on Wednesday disrupted power supply in Ghaziabad and also created problem for motorists, officials said.

Residents in the posh Raj Nagar, Sanjay Nagar, Kavi Nagar and Govindpuram areas faced power cut from 5.00 a.m. to 9.00 a.m.

This affected the power supply in posh residential areas including trans-Hindon areas of Indirapuram and Sahibabad. The power supply was restored after repairing the faults.
