Ignoring MP Kirron Kher’s concerns, the UT Administration along with Haryana and Punjab governments Thursday gave “in-principle” approval to the “metro project” for the Tricity of Chandigarh, Mohali and Panchkula.
This was decided at a meeting held at UT Secretariat in Sector 9, Chandigarh, after the report on comprehensive mobility plan (CMP) prepared by RITES (Rail India Technical and Economic Service Limited) was tabled before Haryana and Punjab.
The decision was taken after a hiatus of 14 years of dilly-dallying over having a metro for Chandigarh. BJP leader and city MP Kirron Kher has been opposing the metro because of which the project couldn’t take off.
