HC okays procurement of 500 standard floor buses for Capital

New Delhi, Oct 22 (UNI) Delhi High Court on Monday after hearing a plea passed an order in favour of the Aam Aadmi Party government to procure 500 standard floor buses for Delhi region.
Nipun Malhotra, a differently abled person, had filed two Public Interest Litigations before the High Court challenging the decisions of the Arvind Kejriwal government and Delhi Transport Corporation to purchase Standard Floor Buses instead of Low Floor Buses for the Capital. He submitted before Delhi High Court that SFBs were not disabled friendly as they were mounted on truck chassis and their height prevented differently abled persons from boarding them.
AAP government sought clearance from the High Court to procure 500 standard floor buses for Delhi. It further submitted on behalf of Delhi Government and DTC that the Standard Floor Buses proposed to be procured were disabled friendly as they would have hydraulic lifts for easy access.
