We will naturally see to it that people who suffer on account of this get adequate compensation. But a reference was made in terms of comparison to the practice of Railways. I am merely making a statement that the compensation we pay is not less than what the Railways do. Shri Jadish Tytler, who is, of course a very senior Member, has said that the land around the DTC bus depots must also be used commercially. He is a very senior and knowledgeable Member and I do not have to tell him that we have amended the Master Plan of Delhi recently to enable the Delhi Transport Corporation to use it as a source of revenue. It is, however, for the Delhi Government and the Delhi Transport Corporation to do the neeful. We can only put an enabling regime in place. Shri Varkala Radhakrishanhas referred to the Cochin metro. The impression that he has that the Government of India is not favouring it is not correct. Shri Suravaram Sudhakar Reddy has also referred to that. This matter is under the consideration of the Planning Commission. After the viability of the project is appraised, we will certainly apply the same formula of assitance as we have done in the case of Bangaluru, Mumabi or Chennia. The Planning Commission has raised an objection that Cochin is not a big city. So, it may not be possible. But, you as a Minister know about the Kerala's topography. The Cochin Airport is just between Trichur and Cochin. So, if you connect those big cities, it is big enough. The question can be put later on. Mr. Minister, as we do not have time, you reply afterwards. I am referring to you only, Sir. While the Planning Commission has not taken a favourable view, the process of consideration is not over. The Government of India is prepared to take a second.
