Steps taken to to meet bus shortage: Delhi CM

NEW DELHI, APRIL 1. The Delhi Government today claimed to have taken adequate measures, including diverting all the 750 buses plying on inter-State routes, to bridge the gap in the fleet of the city bus service in the wake of the Supreme Court's order to withdraw eight-year old public transport buses.

``There is no need for any panic as we have taken adequate measures to cope with the situation arising out of the Supreme Court order,'' the Delhi Chief Minister, Mrs. Shiela Dixit, told reporters here. Stating that 1,750 buses, out of the total 2,100 plying on city routes, had to be taken off the road today due to the court order, she said 750 buses plying on inter- State routes had been diverted to city routes to augment the fleet.
