A bus stand on the Ring Road in Lajpat Nagar became the first in Delhi to be air-conditioned.
It was part of a marketing campaign by an AC manufacturer.
People on social media platform Twitter praised the project, hailing it as timely for coming at a time of the year when temperatures soar to 40-plus levels.
According to a government official, the AC was installed by a Japanese multinational company in collaboration with a private agency that has advertisement rights on Delhi Transport Corporation’s bus stand. Advertisements for the company were also put up in the bus stand.
The bus stop is covered with transparent plastic curtains, and photos showed a large AC unit installed inside, secured with a chain.
