LG, BJP blocking dedicated bus-lane proposal: Kejriwal

Three months after Jung sought a clarification from the Delhi government on its dedicated bus-lane proposal, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) dispensation had on Thursday sent back the plan to him after making “minor” changes in it.

“We trying to implement it (bus-lane proposal). Unfortunately, LG n BJP blocking it (sic),” the Chief Minister tweeted.

In another tweet, Kejriwal said that he hoped that the LG and the BJP would stop “blocking” the AAP government’s public interest schemes.

As per the government’s plan, dedicated bus lanes will be created along major roads across the national Capital.

The government has recommended giving “special power” to junior engineers and PWD officials senior to them, authorising them to impound vehicles and challan motorists obstructing plying of buses on the dedicated lanes.

Dedicated bus lanes have been marked along 500 km of Public Works Department (PWD) roads in the Capital, PWD Minister Satyender Jain has said.
