Centre blames AP for Vizag metro delay

VISAKHAPATNAM: Even after seven years, the fate of the proposed Visakhapatnam Metro Rail Project has been hanging in the balance as the State is yet to submit a proposal to the Centre.

In a written reply to BJP MP GVL Narasimha Rao in the Rajya Sabha, Union Minister of State for Housing and Urban Affairs Kaushal Kishore on Monday said the AP government had not submitted a proposal for the project. “The State was asked to submit a revised proposal in September 2017, but nothing has materialised so far.”
