One among the 8 lines transferred to the L- G Saxena relates to the redevelopment of AIIMS as a world- class medical university pending since January 2022. Also, five lines pertain to the construction of Metro Corridors under Phase- IV that aim atde-congesting and perfecting public transport in extremely crowded areas of West, South, North, and Central Delhi.
Statement from the Official Source
The source said “ Following two ‘ Kartavya Patras ’ from the Lt. Governor to Chief Minister flagging ‘ unjustified and devilish detainments ’ ranging from 6 months to 3 times, in granting authorization for translocation of trees that had stalled several structure systems in the capital, the Delhi government has eventually cleared and transferred for L- G’s blessing 8 similar proffers.
The L- G had written two letters — first on August 17 and latterly on September 30 to Chief Minister Kejriwal italicizing the devilish and overdue detention in clearing the lines related to the translocation of trees and requesting the Chief Minister to expedite the same. The L- G had also flagged massive cost overruns in all these systems as a result of similar overdue detainments. ”
