“We have also decided to start shuttle bus service from Delhi Secretariat to the nearest metro stations – ITO and Indraprastha. We are doing this to reduce the use of private vehicles,” Rai said.
All the schools, colleges, institutions, libraries that have been closed, apart from the library can now be reopened from Monday.
“We are reopening things, but our fight against pollution will continue. That’s why it is necessary to cooperate with everyone, because together we can reduce this pollution further so that Delhi can have better air. Every day strict monitoring is being done by the government. The conditions will definitely improve,” Rai said.
