‘Change of guard in Delhi to fast-track Metro in UP’
The change of guard in national capital has sparked hopes of a speedier Metro expansion in Uttar Pradesh. The UP-NCR development authorities have formed teams to follow up matters with Delhi government.
Former Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit had earlier remarked DMRC should avoid work outside Delhi putting a spanner in UP-NCR Metro expansion. “We were skeptical about approvals from DMRC and the Centre. Now that Aam Aadmi Party has come to power and Arvind Kejriwal is a development-oriented person, Metro projects will also be expedited,” a Greater Noida Authority official said.
