NEW DELHI: Sending a robust political signal to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) executive, the central executive mentioned it will go forward with the construction of Phase IV of the Delhi Metro rail community and the Delhi-Meerut high-speed city rail link on its own.
"We are finding a solution. The solution is that where we are not getting support from the Delhi government over the Metro projects, we have decided that we will do it ourselves. Rapid rail corridors, we will do on our own... if they (Delhi government) are not willing to approve a project or not willing to provide funding, we are finding out the solution for it," Puri mentioned.
Puri had previous mentioned he had urged CM Arvind Kejriwal to ship the proposals to the ministry as soon as he could. The Delhi executive is but to offer its commitment for Phase IV investment.
The details of the work plan are but to be labored out. Sources mentioned that while taking a decision on accelerating work is a concern to satisfy the rising demand for public shipping, there's a possibility whether other states would possibly lodge to a an identical trick to keep away from paying their proportion of finances. "But Delhi is a different case where land is under the central government. Getting post-facto approval is also a possibility," a supply mentioned.
Puri had previous highlighted that the lengthen in taking a decision used to be pushing up the cost of the two tasks aimed at decongesting the city roads and improving connectivity as neatly.
TOI had first reported on February 7 how the Centre had stored “all options open” with reference to the approval of Delhi Metro Phase IV. However, this is not the primary time that the Centre has determined to strike out on its own in its effort to give a boost to Delhi’s infrastructure.
Recently, it began work on construction a flyover and an underpass to connect IGI Airport with Vasant Kunj after the Delhi executive failed to pay its proportion for the venture.
