New Delhi   

A clarification

Dunu Roy, Director of Hazards Centre, New Delhi, writes:

In the report titled "Commercialisation along Metro routes wrong: experts", in these columns (August 25), Alpana Kishore has been described as a town planner and "an expert with Hazard Centre". I must take the strongest exception to such a description because Ms. Kishore has nothing whatsoever to do with the Hazards Centre. Her views may be her own but are completely unacceptable to the Centre, which has done a detailed study of the Metro and published a booklet titled "Delhi Metro Rail", wherein we have dissected the environmental and economic performance of the system and what are the adverse impacts on the city. Her allegations against slum dwellers and rickshaw pullers are not only untrue but have no bearing on the merits or otherwise of the Metro.
