Delhi Metro Adds 60 Train Trips as Air Pollution Triggers GRAP 3 Measures
Delhi is experiencing very bad air pollution, so the government has put stricter rules in place called GRAP-3.
To help people travel without adding to the pollution, the Delhi Metro is running 60 extra train trips.
This means more trains will be available, making it easier for people to choose the metro instead of driving their cars.
The metro hopes this will help clean up the air in the city by reducing the number of vehicles on the road.
Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has started running 60 additional train trips.
The increase in train services began on Tuesday, November 11.
This action was taken as a response to worsening air pollution levels in Delhi.
GRAP-III guidelines have been enforced in the capital due to the severe air quality.
The DMRC aims to encourage commuters to use the metro, thereby reducing the number of private vehicles on the road.
