Tamil Nadu Put Heads Together with Sources- Funding for BRTS Proposal
After several years of arguments, the bus rapid transit system (BRTS) proposal may lodge to live in Chennai.
On Tuesday,
state government enters into a series of conversations on employing this
project. Today we put our heads together with the sources of funding for this
proposal, stated a senior official.
As per the
request from KFW, a German empowering group, Mr.Braj Kishore Prasad the
transport secretary organized the meeting and the participant’s lists include
Managing Director of Chennai Metro Rail, the Municipal Management secretary and
the water hoard secretary.
Many
independent transport backing groups like Institute of Transportation and
Development Policy (ITDP) and Chennai City Connect were also at hand in the
meeting.
For the
past six years, this project has been on hold in the proposal stage and now the
paper work will be yet to start.
We hopefully
will not furnish any policy verdicts right now as the archetype rules of steer
are in place. On conclusion of the elections, we will direct a detailed project
report (DPR), said an official.
DRP is a mandatory entity for the government to look for funding. The BRTS proposal includes road laying, street improvement and buses. It generally costs between 20 Crore to 30 Crore per km.
