It is known that the hustle and bustle in the market has already increased a lot due to Dhanteras before Diwali. Besides, the onslaught of air pollution has left Delhi in distress. In many areas of Delhi, AQI i.e. the level of measuring pollution has crossed 600-700. Areas like Anand Vihar, Lodhi Road are in bad condition. Odd even has been implemented for cars from 13th November. Winter break has been announced in schools.
At the same time, the frequency of Delhi Metro has also been increased to take people to offices and other destinations. Apart from the metro, the timing of feeder services of buses has also been reduced. Around 25 to 30 lakh people travel in Delhi Metro every day. Due to rules regarding pollution and festivals, crowding in the metro may increase further.
Changes in timings may also be seen for Noida and Ghaziabad Metro. Noida Metro Rail Corporation can announce this soon. Trains from Noida and Ghaziabad operate to various areas of Delhi.
Last year also, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation had changed the timing of metro trains during Diwali festival (24 October). Passengers from different areas of NCR travel on Delhi Metro.
