SC: Mamata government hell-bent on impeding Kolkata Metro project

2026-03-23 - 23:19

The Supreme Court sternly criticized the West Bengal government for obstructing the Kolkata Metro Orange Line's completion, calling their appeal "frivolous" and an "obstinate anti-development agenda." The court rejected the state's plea for time until May, citing elections, and emphasized the government's dereliction of duty in delaying a vital public transport project.
