In a statement released to the media, secretary Noor pointed out that if the government provides its share of assured 2/3rd funds of the total cost of ₹817 crore, only ₹129 crore was released, the project taken up by the South Central Railway (SCR) can be completed in all respects connecting the suburbs and providing a cheaper and environment friendly transport system to the poor and middle class passengers.
