Delhi BJP chief Harsh Vardhan has criticised the statement of Sunita Narayan,director,Centre for Science and Enviornment. She had given a clean chit to the BRT corridor and termed it as useful for Delhi. BJP MLA Vijat Jolly has also demanded the scrapping of the corridor project ,saying that it has created traffic snarls in South Delhi. Vardhan said that the way in which thousands of trees have been felled and many lives have been lost, dozen have been injured, the Delhi government should stop the construction of six other corridors. The adamant attitude of the government shows that it wants to continue with the construction of the corridor at the cost of environment and the lives of people. He asked, Is the present green area of Delhi sufficient for the 1.62 crore people? Whether new trees have been planted in the same numbers as the trees felled for constructing the BRT corridor? If other six corridors are constructed then will the pollution level of Delhi make it a city worth living? Even today a tree was cut at Bahadurshah Zafar Marg. Foreign multinational companies and domestic vehicle manufacturers are influencing the Delhi Integrated Multinodal Transport System and also pressuring the government for constructing the BRT corridor. However, residents, transport experts, environmentalist are of the opinion that BRT corridor is not useful for Delhi. Harsh Vardhan said, "The way Sunita Narayan has given green signal to the corridor, proves that she is under the pressure of foreign powers.' Sunita Narayan has fully disregarded the fact that from the date of trial run of the corridor from April 20 to April 24 the air pollution near the corridor in South Delhi increased rapidly. This air pollution level was 9.2 UG/M3 which increased to 14.8 UG/M3 per cubic centimeter (UG/M3) for sulphur dioxide. The level of nitrogen dioxide and carbon Mono-oxide increased rapidly, he said. BJP MLA Vijay Jolly demanded for scrapping of the BRT corridor. The government should heed to the sufferings of the "aam adami' on the issue. The planners failed to pre-visualize the trauma of the aam adami using this dedicated corridor. Their planning and arguments are just a theory and away from the ground realities. Safety of the senior citizens and school children is in peril. The bus shelters just being in the middle of the road is a foreign concept and cannot be aped without proper road education, Jolly said.
