SC reprimanded Delhi government for not providing full funds for RRTS project, said – full payment will have to be made

RRTS Project: On Tuesday, the nation’s supreme court censured the Delhi government once more. The issue is that you will have to wring your hands to get the amount you have to pay, the Supreme Court declared, chastising the government for withholding the designated cash for the RRTS project.

It was informed to the bench of Justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul and Sudhanshu Dhulia that the Delhi government had only contributed a portion of the funds intended for RRTS (Regional Rapid Transport System). The bench stated that this does not raise the issue of half-payment. Payment in full is required.

Even at the most recent hearing, the Delhi government was chastised by the Supreme Court and instructed to move funds from its advertising budget to the RRTS fund.

Supreme Court reprimands Delhi government for not providing funds for RRTS project

In response to the D elhi government‘s failure to contribute its share of funds to the rapid rail project, the Supreme Court is angry. According to the court, you have a Rs 1100 crore three-year advertising budget, but there isn’t any money left over for significant projects.

Delhi government faces warning from Supreme Court for not funding RRTS project. Why did the government of Delhi disobey the court’s ruling? The Delhi government’s advertising budget would be stopped by us. “We’ll attach it and bring it here,” declared the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court ordered the project to get funds from the Delhi government for advertising, but it postponed the decision for a week. If the funds were not transferred, the ruling would take effect.

Supreme Court cautions Delhi government for not giving funds for RRTS project. “Why the Delhi government has not complied with court’s order? We will stay your (Delhi government’s) advertising budget. We will attach it and take it here,” observes Supreme Court.

Supreme Court reprimanded Aam Aadmi Party, said – directed to give Rs 415 crore for RRTS

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.
