Metro inducts first train wrapped with advertisements
New Delhi, November 22 Approximately, 15 such trains will be inducted into service initially with seven trains on Line 2 from Jahangirpuri to HUDA City Centre and eight trains on Line 3 and 4 which are the busiest lines of the Delhi Metro network. The first train on Line 2 will also be inducted by next week. Currently only six-coach trains are being wrapped. Gradually trains on other corridors will also be covered, the official said. To augment the non-operational revenues of the DMRC through advertisements, the Delhi Metro has awarded exclusive advertising rights for displaying advertising materials, including pictures, printed material, electronic media, smart posters, holographic images, visual displays, etc., on the external part of its trains, he said. Currently, the DMRC operates a fleet of over 200 train sets with over 60 eight-coach trains and over 80 six-coach trains. The "train wraps" have been permitted on 10 per cent of the total train sets available on the operational lines of the Delhi Metro network. The exclusive advertising rights have been given to two agencies, which will be valid for 10 years. The selected agencies will give annual license fee in lieu of the exclusive advertising rights. The DMRC will also monitor this activity, so that it also contributes to the aesthetical value of the Delhi Metro through high quality advertising comparable to world-class airports and Metros railways and other leading destinations. So far, the DMRC has been advertising inside the Metro trains apart from station premises, he added.

Regularise illegal colonies, demands BJP
New Delhi, November 22 He mentioned eight other issues of Delhi in the memorandum. The DDA, Delhi government and Municipal Corporations should pass orders for providing community services to all the unauthorized colonies on the basis of the recommendations of the MPs of Delhi. The Delhi Special Provision Act-II, 2011 should be extended by three years more and all the constructions and colonies which have come up with in this period should be included in the purview of this act, said Upadhyay. An amount of Rs. 500 crore should be granted for sanitation work in Delhi to municipal bodies. The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) should allot land to the Delhi Jal Board for solving the problem of water supply in Dwarka and west Delhi. The Central government should intervene and ensure supply of Yamuna water from Haryana to Delhi through Munak Canal. After the restrictions on running industries in Delhi, many industrial areas and premises of factories are vacant. Some people are using the vacant industrial premises for other purposes, though that is not legal. Keeping people's necessity in view, the government should allow commercial activities on the industrial plots. Urges Centre to release
