Earlier in the day, the pink line metro service from Durgabai Deshmukh South Campus to Lajpat Nagar was delayed, which caused inconvenience for commuters—Metro train services on other lines carried on normal operations as usual.
The Delhi Metro Corporation has started 20 additional train trips for the convenience of daily commuters in response to the growing air pollution in the national capital region.
The goal of the initiative is to persuade people in Delhi and the surrounding cities of Noida, Ghaziabad, and others to use public transportation instead of their own vehicles.
When the GRAP-II stage went into effect on October 25, Delhi Metro was already running 40 extra trips on weekdays in addition to the additional 20 trips.
