New Delhi, Nov 14- The toxic smog continued to envelope national capital today morning, with reduced visibility in some areas leading to cancellation of ten trains in the city.

According to a senior Indian Railways official, 73 trains have been delayed, 34 rescheduled, and 10 cancelled.

"The minimum temperature was recorded at 14.6 degrees Celsius, a notch above normal," a MeT department official said.
