Delhi Transport Minister Kailash Gahlot has directed that a nine-month extension be granted to 1,000 CNG cluster buses so that electrification work could be completed in the depots before they are taken off-road. He said the transport department`s proposal of giving a three-month extension is not "reasonable".
These buses would have been taken off-road as they have completed 10 years in service. According to a communication from the transport department, 997 buses serving 109 routes would have been phased out if the concession agreements were not to be extended beyond June 19.
