The Delhi government was ordered by the Supreme Court on Monday to pay Rs 415 crore for the ‘Regional Rapid Transport System’ (RRTS) within two months.
If the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)-led government could spend Rs 1,000 crore on advertisements in the previous three years, obviously infrastructure projects could be funded, a bench of Justices SK Kaul and Sudhanshu Dhulia noted.
The Delhi government had previously stated that it was unable to provide funding for the RRTS initiative, and as a result, the Supreme Court ordered it to document the amount of money it had spent on advertising over the previous three years.
