Taking a dig at the Delhi Government’s decision to put a condition of 50-50 sharing in operational losses in the Metro Phase IV, Union Housing and Urban Affairs (HUA) Minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Wednesday said that the Delhi Government has such a behavioural pattern that they always create “hurdles”.
The Minister said that his officers are currently examining the conditions imposed by the Delhi Cabinet, while approving the Phase IV of the Delhi Metro on December 21 last year.
“We are committed to executing the Metro Phase IV. After obstructing the project for four years, especially two years, they have sent some approvals, but they have such a behaviourial pattern that they always create hurdles,” Puri said on the sidelines of an event.
Asked whether his Ministry will agree with the AAP Government’s conditions, Puri said, “Our Ministry will announce how we propose to go. We are examining them (conditions).”
