Delhi is almost “unlivable”, Union MoHUA Hardeep Singh Puri on Thursday said, underlining that people buying cars could not be blamed for congestion in the city as it lacked a better public transport system. In a veiled attack on the AAP Government in the National Capital, he said a shortage of public buses in the city was a “criminal negligence” .
He also denounced the Delhi Government for the delay in the Delhi Metro’s Phase IV and the Delhi-Meerut Regional Rapid Transit System project. “Delhi is almost unlivable... The city is short of 7,000 buses... This is not a shortage but a criminal negligence,” he said at an event here.
