DMRC will not have to pay the remaining two billion rupees to the Ghaziabad Municipal Corporation for the new bus Adda Metro Rail Second Phase from Dilshad Garden, but DMRC will adjust this amount as against the payable taxes.
The Uttar Pradesh government has also given a green signal in this regard. Actually, correspondence between GDA Municipal Corporation and DMR C was going on for a long time regarding the outstanding contribution of Municipal Corporation. After this decision, the dispute has now come to an end.
This information was given by Mayor Asha Sharma here today. On the issue of giving contribution, the municipal corporation argued that most of the Metro railway line has passed through the corporation’s land.
Secondly, when the construction of second phase of the Metro Rail Project was completed, at that time, DMRC had started all its maintenance offices and stores etc. on the Municipal Corporation land, for which no rent or tax was paid to Ghaziabad Municipal Corporation.
The Mayor said that DMRC is currently owed a tax of 100 crores of Ghaziabad Municipal Corporation, which is to be taken from DMRC to Municipal Corporation. The Mayor said that on the basis of the funding pattern of Metro Rail, Naga Corporation had increased the revised DPR on Metro Rail to two billion thirty-three crores, if the tax amount from DMRC and Railways will be adjusted in this amount of liability. The fund of the infrastructure fund received by the corporation will not be cut, and this fund to be held in the city will speed up the development works. The special thing is that in this entire matter, the Commissioner of Ghaziabad Municipal Corporation, Dr. Dinesh Chand Singh has already informed the Government in writing.
