We have not made much headway. But, before we make any headway, we need to alter the mindset of the people, the mindset of our rulers in the States. In that direction, we have made some progress. We are, however, to make a lot of progress on the ground. Sir, he referred to the need to expedite the process of construction of Metro having regard to the Commonwealth Games to be held in October, 2010. That is exactly the point. That is the reason why I brought the Bill urgently because this extension to NOIDA is to be opened for testing in June, 2009 itself. Therefore, although this Session was short and there was paucity of time, I could presuade everybody concerned so that this Bill is given top importance. I can only tell you through the House and through you, Sir, that these extensions to Gurgaon and NOIDA would be completed well on time for the Commonwealth Games in 2010. Tripathyji has referred to the number of accidents. He seems to have documented them quite well. I do not deny his facts. When such a gigantic project is being executed, tragically some accidents happen and these are avoidable. But I can tell you that when you compare the record of the Delhi Metro with that of other comparable Metros in the world, our record is not inferior. As there is no other Metros in the Western world and our record is in no way inferior to them. Tripathyji has also raised a point as to why Metro should be treated as a State Subject. As of now, under Definition III, Metro is treated as tramway and you need a Constitution Amendment to change that. Therefore, we are amending the law from time to time. I am aware of this need because we are thinking of Metro in a big way in Kolkata, in Chennai, in Hyderabad, in Bengaluru, in Mumbai.
