The Centre has said it cannot accept AAP government's conditions on the Metro Phase-4 and asked it to review its decision to not execute the project until the Housing and Urban Affairs (HUA) Ministry revises its approval.
The AAP government had in April directed the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) not to begin the work on Phase-4 project till the HUA ministry revises its approval in tune with the AAP dispensation's proposal, a source said.
HUA Secretary Durga Shanker Mishra has written to Delhi Chief Secretary Vijay Kumar Dev asking him to review the AAP government's decision and lift the embargo on work on Phase-IV at the earliest in public interest, the source said.
While approving the Metro Phase-IV, the Delhi Cabinet had imposed two conditions -- 50-50 sharing of operational loss between the Delhi government and the Centre, and that the Delhi government will not bear any liability of repayment of loan given by the JICA, Japan International Cooperation Agency.
