NDTV
The Delhi government, which reportedly released Rs 415 crore last week, told the Supreme Court it had now paid all its dues.
The Supreme Court came down hard on the Delhi government Tuesday over delays in paying its share of funds - around Rs 500 crore - for the Regional Rapid Transit System, or RRTS, which is a semi-high speed rail corridor linking to Meerut in Uttar Pradesh, Alwar in Rajasthan and Haryana's Panipat.
"Problem is you have to be arm-twisted to pay money you are obligated to. We will not say it again and again. Pay what you have to..." a top court bench of Justices SK Kaul and S Dhulia said.
The Delhi government, which reportedly released Rs 415 crore last week, told the court it had now paid all its dues. However, demanding "absolute compliance", the court then listed the matter for Saturday.
