`Metro rail project will be very expensive'
Staff Reporter
Hyderabad:
Jayaprakash Narayan, National Coordinator of Lok Satta Party, criticised the Government for planning metro rail project at an enormous cost when the traffic problem could be solved with a rapid bus transportation system.
The metro rail project will cost Rs. 125 to Rs. 130 crores per km, while the rapid bus transportation will cost only Rs. 10 crores per km. Even when the metro rail project is completed it will be useful to just 10 per cent of the population.
But the Government is keen to execute only expensive projects, Dr. Narayan said.
Addressing a public meeting and roadside gatherings in Medak and Nizamabad districts, he said the Government had money for fancy projects but it could not spend Rs. 5 crores on the MMR (measles mumps and rubella) vaccination programme.
It also could not spend Rs. 125 crores to resolve the drinking water problem in villages.
