Punjab HC Seeks Project Reports on Amritsar BRTS Amid Discontinuation Concerns
The Punjab and Haryana High Court has requested the original and any subsequent project reports related to Amritsar's Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS), which was implemented at a cost of nearly Rs 600 crore. The court highlighted concerns that substantial public funds already spent may go unutilised if the project is discontinued. This follows a public interest petition by Amritsar Vikas Manch challenging the proposed discontinuation. The Punjab Government has paused the discontinuation pending further review.
