Delhi Development Authority Postpones Hot Air Balloon Rides Due to Pollution
The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has postponed the planned relaunch of hot air balloon rides at Baanseera Park, originally scheduled for November 14, due to worsening air pollution in Delhi. The rides, first launched last year with limited weekend operations and low visitor turnout, will resume on a new date yet to be decided. Plans to expand the service to other locations remain on hold. The tethered balloon rides offer aerial views of the Yamuna floodplains and city skyline, with trips lasting 7 to 12 minutes.
