A bailable warrant has been issued against the Managing Director of Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) regarding a rain water harvesting issue along the metro train tracks by the National Green Tribunal (NGT).

NGT in the order said, “None present on behalf of the DMRC despite its presence being felt necessary as per the order dated 04-12-2017.
