Metro rail
by anupam on Apr 03, 2006 12:50 PM

Perhaps metro is the only thing on which Delhi can boast of. Whatever may be the expenditure incurred, the long term benefits are hundred fold.

If you caluclate the money already spent on Metro, then you should also took into consideration the fact that due to metro rate of property increased significantly on the routes where metro rail is running. People are earning lakhs of rs. because of metro. Metro provides employment to thousands of people. The value of the land which metro owes is much more than what govt spent on metro. Of course it is govt land, but the value of proplerty is much more now than prviously. Metro is going to be the lifeline of not only delhi but of whole NCR and nearby ares, helping more than crore of people in near future.
