According to Housing Minister Hardeep Singh Puri, the Delhi Metro will not offer overnight services since that time is used for the maintenance of trains.

In a move that would certainly speed up the construction process, the government is planning to mellow environmental regulations to push affordable housing projects. In a draft notification issued in mid-March, the environment ministry has proposed that projects spread in an area of 50,000 square metre (sqm) would not require green clearance. Under the existing rules, projects with a built-up area of up to 20,000 sqm do not have to apply for green clearance.

While answering an RTI the DMRC has revealed that the Delhi Metro lost 26 million riders in 2017, a year when it was expected to cross the 1-billion mark. The Delhi Metro recorded 967 million passengers in 2017 as against 993 million in 2016. The fall is attributed to steep fare hike twice in the same year.

While there are several benefits of the urban life, there are also many disadvantages. The resident of a big city, for instance, has to constantly breathe in the polluted air that adversely impacts his health. With rising pollution levels posing major health challenges, air purifiers have become a must-have item in our households. However, you don't really have to invest in one immediately. Before you buy one, try renting one out first. This way you will get to use premium appliances at affordable charges.

The growing demand for living space, especially in the rental segment, has led to letting out of basements for dwelling purposes. Basements are a lower storey of a building that is completely or partially below the street level. New constructions, especially builder floors, now have a basement space. But, did you know, it is illegal to use a basement for residential purposes? According to the National Building Code, basements can only be used legally for commercial purposes, storage, parking, cellar, dark room or a space where air conditioning machinery can be installed.
