AAP awaits approval on proposal of dedicated bus lanes from L-G Najeeb Jung

“After consultations with PWD, the Transport department and the Law department, the proposal has been sent back to the LG’s office,” the official said. Sources said that, in case the LG turns down the proposal “again”, the government may move to court against it as the proposal is being executed as per a Supreme Court order.

The development comes three days after the LG’s office sought the Delhi government’s review on its app-based bus aggregation policy. The Anti-corruption Bureau has initiated a probe into the issue following complaints from Leader of the Opposition Vijendra Gupta.

In March, the city government had alleged that Jung turned down its proposal to create dedicated bus lanes in the city’s streets and impose of a fine of Rs 2,000 against those violating related rules. However, the LG’s office had denied the charge claiming Jung had only sought clarification from the government on it.

The LG and the AAP government has been at loggerheads on a range of issues including transfer and postings of bureaucrats and formation of the Commission of Inquiry.
