In the wake of rising air pollution in the national capital region, the Delhi Metro Corporation has begun 20 extra train trips for the convenience of daily commuters.

The move is aimed at encouraging people to ditch their personal transport and opt for public transport in Delhi and its adjoining areas of Noida, Ghaziabad, and others.
