‘Something wrong with Metro funds’

October 17, 2017 01:52 am | Updated 01:52 am IST - NEW DELHI

Asking the Centre not to interfere in the Delhi government’s probe into the functioning of the Metro, CM Arvind Kejriwal on Monday told Union Housing and Urban Affairs Minister of State Hardeep Singh Puri that there appeared to be something wrong with the finances of the Metro.

He wrote to Mr. Puri saying that the DMRC had received huge grants and had spent a large sum on different purchases, but now had doubled fares. Referring to the order to Chief Secretary M.M. Kutty not to probe the fare hike, the CM said the public were entitled to know how the money was being spent.
