The Delhi government agreed to make budgetary provisions towards fulfillment of its share for construction of the Delhi-Meerut Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) project after the Supreme Court earlier raised eyebrows on its expenditure on advertisements. “If Rs1,100 crore can be spent for advertisement in the last 3 years, certainly, contributions can be made for infrastructure projects,” remarked a bench of Justices S.K. Kaul and Sudhanshu Dhulia.
