Revival of Canals will be considered by NGRBA

On way to Kolkata. Typing this on iPad inside Spicejet flight. Flight yet to take off. SteeringCommittee meeting was very short, and so I drove to the airport T1 and purchased ticket with credit card and took the first available flight and that is this one.. Had KFC meal. This was the shortest meeting I've attended in Delhi. Pranab Mukherji was in Chair, Montek Singh Ahluwalia, CM Uttaranchal and others were there - but since election process was on, UP was absent. The only outcome worthy of note was that they agreed to look at revival of lakes under NGRBA which was earlier rejected by GoI formally. Beliaghata, Tolly's Nollah and Krishnapur Canal would be proposed in the first phase.

  1. Sir, a very philosophic question. How do you feel when you see Delhi's terminal and compare that with Kolkata's ?

  2. Can we re-visit this issue in June ?
