The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation on Friday rejected a notice sent by Reliance Infra, which runs the Airport Metro line, and requested it continue operations beyond June 30. Earlier, Reliance Infra had in a June 27 letter to DMRC warned it could not run the Airport Metro after Sunday due to huge losses.
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation board met Friday and termed the letter a “violation” of the concession agreement.
But in case Reliance Infra refuses to operate it, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation “will step in and run it in the larger public interest”.

This is the third petrol hike this month. Diesel prices are also expected to be increased in next few days.
