Yet again, the Rail India Technical and Economic Service (RITES) has asserted Metro for the Tricity area in the final draft submitted to the Chandigarh Administration Friday which the UT Administration has “in principle” accepted and will now discuss it with Punjab and Haryana.
“The RITES has asserted a 39.2-km Metro link across Tricity as the best way to ease traffic congestion,” a senior officer who was present in the meeting told The Indian Express.
Speaking to The Indian Express, UT Adviser Dharam Pal said, “The Metro has been suggested in the areas which aren’t heritage sectors so that is okay with us.
