DMRC says it is fully within its rights to keep information regarding design and material to itself

Six people killed, 12 injured, a city shaken, yet the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) feels it is not bound to part with the design layout of its crumbling structures.

The "pride of Delhi", DMRC, snubbed a Right to Information (RTI) plea by a group of concerned citizens who sought structural drawings and details of pile foundation and superstructure. "The required information is the intellectual property of the DMRC and therefore, exempted from disclosure under Sections 8(1)(d) of the RTI Act."
