An earlier order had made the 'Pink Saheli' smart card mandatory from August 16, but the transport department has now pushed that deadline back. About 18 lakh smart cards have been distributed so far. The government says it will ramp up awareness campaigns and aim to increase card distribution before making the card compulsory. Fifty authorised centres are issuing the cards across the city. ## Coverage - economictimes.indiatimes.com This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
