She said Metro construction and other constructions were needed for a modern city.

The chief minister also said that despite starting a 'Haat' - a market - at Andheria Mod in south Delhi five years back for the vendors to sell their wares, there have been no takers so far.

Union Women and Child Development Minister Krishna Tirath said the government has started Rashtriya Mahila Kosh or a national credit fund for financially helping women vendors in setting up their small businesses.

'India is a country of labourers and farmers, of which women are a very important part. The Rashtriya Mahila Kosh has funds and all the underprivileged women of the country can take advantage (from it),' Tirath said.
