Now, he asked, why are you buying buses? We are buying buses outside the fund given to us under Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission. It is part of the larger stimulus package provided by the Government of India in the context of current meltdown. So, so many buses are made available to so many cities in the country. In due course we will be able to provide low floor modern luxury buses, not all of them air-conditioned, to as many as 65 cities. In Hyderabad, this morning, I flagged off a programme in which I said that 700 buses will be made available. The buses are being made available because we want to encourage public transport as against privatized transport. Shri Santosh Gangwar referred to the great service rendered by Sreedharan Ji. Sreedharan Ji is, in fact, a legendry figure who has made great contribution, unique contribution to the building of Delhi Metro and he is also being providing consultancy to all the Metros. But we are aware of the mortality of all individuals, we are putting in place dependable, durable structures and Sreedharan Ji as blaze a trail and it is for others to follow. For example, in Bengaluru, in Chennai, the State Governments are naming their local officers and we are lending our expertise and experience in the matter. He said that Bareilley should be considered a counter-magnate city. That is a suggestion for consideration. Shri Surendra Goyal wanted this facility to be extended right up to Ghazibad and other cities. I appreciate the suggestion. This amendment will enable us to take it to Ghazibad because Ghaziabad is part of National Capital Region. Therefore, I am sure his request will be conceded in due course. At the moment, we are focusing on NOIDA and Gurgaon and we have a long way to go.
