Notwithstanding opposition to the existing bus rapid transport [BRT] stretch, Delhi government on Tuesday decided to start ground work on construction of 14 new BRT corridors across the city. Chief minister Sheila Dikshit was given a presentation on the proposed corridors following which public works department and Delhi Integrated Multi-Modal Transit System [DIMMTS]were told to prepare feasibility report for the ambitious project.
The existing BRT corridor between Ambedkar Nagar and Delhi gate was constructed by DIMMTS, a joint venture company jointly set up by Delhi government and Infrastructure Development Finance Corporation.
Chief secretary P K Tripathi, who was present in the meeting, said PWD and DIMMTS will prepare the feasibility studies for the proposed BRT corridors.
Following a court case and controversy related to the Ambedkar Nagar-Delhi Gate BRT corridor, the construction of 14 such corridors was put on hold but now government has decided to work on it.
