5.  Why the difference in what is recommended by
the working group in the 12th plan and JnNurm
Guidelines?
[ for example: for a city like Kochi which lies in the
category 1-4 million population, the city will get
50% central assistance. However cities like
Thiruvanathapurm which lie in the category of < 1
million, will get 80% central assistance: contestable
difference in the recommendation by the working
group and JnNURM guidelines.
 What about the balance in case of JnNURM
Guidelines?

6. There is no legislation at present that
covers the requirements of Urban
Transport.
 Motor Vehicles Act: licensing of vehicles
 Railway Act : Inter city traffic, metro
 Construction Act: specific to
construction of metros
 Tramway Act: deals with tramways

7. A comprehensive Urban Transport Act is
needed urgently. Acc. To the
recommendations of the working group,
the Act should:
1. Should cover all aspects of Urban
Transport.
2. The Act should be enacted by the
Central Govt. and the States may draft
rules under it as per their needs.

9. 1. If the UMTAs are accountable to
MPC/DPC, does that mean the
responsibility of forming the UMTAs lie
with the MPC/DPC?
2. What about states which don’t have an
MPC/DPC? (about 10/30)
3. What will be the institutional framework
of UMTA?
