Hyderabad: In a recent metro rail project review meeting, Municipal Administration and Urban Development Minister KT Rama Rao instructed the Hyderabad Metro Rail Limited (HMRL) to start work on the six km Metro stretch in the Old City. Rao directed HMRL to explore the possibility of state government taking it up on its own with external funds, if project concessionaire L&T does not show interest due to land acquisition and viability issues.

New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Monday pulled up the Delhi Metro for not providing free drinking water or toilet facilities to commuters inside the stations, asking whether it has lost “a sense of human problems”. “Have you brought this no water/toilet policy from the West? Look at the volume of traffic here. Crores of people travel in the metro and if someone develops a medical problem, what will happen? Where will he go? By the time he moves out of the station, it will be too late. What is the thought behind this policy,” a bench of Justices S Ravindra Bhat and A K Chawla said. “You go anywhere in the world, there are toilets in the metro stations.
