Delhi Metro To Run 20 Extra Trips Daily As Pollution Curbs Kick In
· Automobile · NDTV, Indian Express
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation will operate 20 additional train trips every day across its network to encourage public transport usage as anti-pollution restrictions take effect. This measure aims to reduce vehicular emissions and manage commuter volumes during the implementation of the Graded Response Action Plan. In addition to running extra services, the metro operator will intensify anti-pollution measures at its construction sites and surrounding areas across Delhi to control dust. These steps are designed to mitigate the seasonal spike in air pollution levels typically experienced during the winter months. Officials have urged residents to rely more on public transit to support citywide air quality management efforts.
Why it matters
Daily commuters in Delhi face stricter travel conditions and shifting transit schedules as public transport systems absorb higher passenger volumes under anti-pollution curbs.
