E. Sreedharan resigns as Delhi Metro chief

E. Sreedharan, managing director of the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), resigned from the pos. E. Sreedharan, known world wide as India's 'Metro man', resigned as the chief of the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) on Sunday, taking “moral responsibility” for the collapse of an underconstruction span that killed five people.

Sreedharan, 77, has been at the helm of affairs of the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) since its inception and has been instrumental in the completion of the project within the budget and well ahead of schedule.
Known for his efficiency and integrity, the technocrat could not sit quietly as a span of the under-construction elevated route came crashing down in south Delhi Sunday morning, killing five people and wounding 15.
Though he retired way back as member (engineering) of the railway board in June 1990, the government would not let him go and appointed him as the chief of the Konkan Railway that year.
