Is the traffic problem in New Delhi a problem of classes in society?
from Raise the Question · host Anurag Sikder
In a change of track, we decide to discuss a matter that has been around for more than a decade now. When the Delhi metro rail was planned and put in place, it was suggested that it would significantly improve intra-city travel and improve the traffic situation in the city. While the former is definitely a positive outcome of the implementation, the latter is still a major problem in the city. In this podcast, we debate whether the Delhi Metro has really been as effective as is claimed by the governing bodies and their supporters. Or, is there a bigger problem at play here that we refuse to acknowledge. A problem that is more deep rooted than we think.
