Let Metro do its work: High Court

New Delhi: Refusing to interfere with work on Metro’s south Delhi corridor, the Delhi High Court has declined to pass any order on a petition seeking a stay on the project on the ground that it posed a threat to six monuments.

“Let Metro do its work and we would not interfere in its work,” a Bench comprising Justice T S Thakur and Justice Veena Birbal said adding, “Metro is good for people as they cannot reach offices because of huge traffic congestion in the city”.

Unimpressed by the petitioner’s claim that the Metro could damage six monuments falling on its route, the Bench said “There is nothing wrong in the Metro going by their (monuments’) side. Those using the Metro can also look at the monuments.”

The Bench refused to pass any order on the plea and posted the matter for further hearing to January 18.

The Bench was hearing a PIL filed by residents of South Delhi colonies.
