  • Amritsar's fairytale public transport project shelved

    Launched amid much fanfare by Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Badal ahead of the 2012 Assembly elections, the Punjab Government’s ambitious Personal Rapid Transport System (PRTS) project seems virtually shelved now with the lone bidder pulling out of it.

    The project would have seen magnetic pods running on an elevated guideway in Amritsar on the lines of Heathrow Airport in London. Sources said the bidder — ULTra Fairwood Pte Ltd — withdrew from the project as the state government wished to re-negotiate the deal, but the firm felt that it would have made the project financially unviable for it.
