High Projects Stuck

Over half the highways being developed in India under the build-operate-transfer or BOT model are stuck in limbo despite two attempts by the government since May to revive them, officials say.

It was Mayawati's dream project, but the inauguration of Noida memorial park left commuters stuck on road. And to add to their woes, traffic was diverted at several places leading to inordinate delays and chaos.
