SC: Mamata government hell-bent on impeding Kolkata Metro project

The Supreme Court sternly criticized the West Bengal government for obstructing the Kolkata Metro Orange Line's completion, calling their appeal "frivolous" and an "obstinate anti-development agenda." The court rejected the state's plea for time until May, citing elections, and emphasized the government's dereliction of duty in delaying a vital public transport project.
