DTC low floor buses were welcomed in Capital two years back when they were introduced. However, now that some of these buses have caught fire over the recent weeks, even the commuters are not sure if these buses comply with all safety norms and are a step better than the older fleet.

As the state government is getting more aggresive in procuring low floor buses, Delhi Transport Corporation has realised that these buses are playing instrumental role in bringing down its operating losses.

In fact so notorious are Delhi motorists, that according to a recent report, some of the countries participating in the 19th Commonwealth games consider Delhi's "rowdy drivers" a bigger threat than terrorists!

Regular motorists in Delhi are yet to find a feasible solution to check their fuel costs and avoid inconvenience on busy roads of capital due to lack of any car pool system. The local government has now come forward with IIT Delhi to find a solution to tackle the problem.

The tough stance taken by the A.K. Nag pal Committee clearly indicates that authorities are in no mood to let the defaulters make an easy escape. All those who were found guilty will face the music generated by the anger of Delhiites and the higher authorities. However, DMRC would have to ensure that it takes the complete responsibility for the safety and security of the poor workers who are giving in their blood and sweat to make metro crawl before its deadline approaches.

Just when it looked like that the things were getting good for the Delhi Metro misery knocked at its door again. Today at 5:45 a.m. in the morning a worker at the site died when a beam fell on him. The accident took place at Ashoka Park in the Punjabi Bagh area. The worker was rushed to a nearby hospital where he succumbed to his injuries. No structural collapses have been reported so far. This is the third major accident in the last two weeks at different sites of Delhi Metro.
