SC pulls up Delhi govt for not starting Delhi-Meerut rapid rail on time

The Supreme Court (SC) criticised the Delhi government for not starting the Delhi-Meerut Regional Rapid Transport System (RRTS) project on time after the Delhi government claimed it did not have sufficient funds for the project.

The SC, led by Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul, questioned why the government had money for advertisements but not for a project that would make transportation smoother.

According to a report by Bar and Bench, it asked, “If you have money for advertisements, why can’t you allocate funds for a project that ensures smooth transport?”
