SC clears decks for Badarpur Faridabad metro line
The Supreme Court gave the green signal for completion of carriage way and overhead metro line which will connect Badarpur border of Delhi to Faridabad in Haryana.
A special bench comprising Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan, Justices Arijit Pasayat and S H Kapadia dismissed a petition seeking directions not to allow carriage way and overhead metro line alleging that Rajiv Gandhi Sports Complex will have to be demolished and large number of trees will be felled causing huge damage to the environment in the area.
The overhead metro line will touch the Natonal Highway-2.
The Metro will interconnect NCR region with Delhi. The line from ITO to Noida is already nearing completion and another line from ITO to Anand Vihar interstate bus terminus in East Delhi is also underway.
