106 shuttle buses, 60 more Metro trips to combat air pollution in Delhi
The decision came during a high-level meeting Rai held with the officials on the implementation of GRAP-III restrictions in the city.
With some technical work beginning on Monday, Delhi Metro Pink Line timetable will see some temporary changes.
Officials said there would be “minor temporary changes” in the timings of the first and last train from the terminal stations, interchange stations and other stations from Majlis Park to Lajpat Nagar and Trilokpuri-Sanjay Lake to Shiv Vihar — the two operational sections of the Pink Line.
The officials said the changes were made to facilitate the technical integration of various systems with the corridor set for extension from Lajpat Nagar up to Mayur Vihar Pocket-1.

The integration work is likely to be over before December 9, when normal train timings will be restored on the two sections.
“The Delhi Metro will be undertaking upgrading work from late night hours till early morning hours from December 3-8. During this period, there will be minor variation (0-75 minutes) in the first and last train timings for the trains originating from either end of these two operational sections,” said a senior official.
As per the modified time table, the last train from Majlis Park to Lajpat Nagar would leave at 9.35 pm instead of 11 pm, he said, adding: “For the rest of the day during this integration period, train services on these two sections will be running as per normal schedule.”
“Delhi Metro advises the commuters who are early morning/late night hour users of the metro on these sections to check the timings from DMRC website/helpline 155370 and plan their travel accordingly,” the DMRC said in a statement.
It said the corporation would deploy additional staff and make regular announcements at the stations/trains to facilitate the passengers during the period.
