Delhi Government on Sunday night rejected the resignation of Delhi Metro chief E Sreedharan, who quit the post taking moral responsibility for the death of six persons in an accident on its work site. Sheila Dikshit-led government rejected Sreedharan's resignation as it viewed that his continuation was necessary for successful completion of projects related to Delhi Metro ahead of the Commonwealth Games next year. Sreedharan, who turned 77 on 12th July 2009, announced his decision at a crowded press conference in New Delhi soon after his visit to the site of the collapse.The accident took place at around 5 am when a pillar of the bridge gave in during some construction work near Lady Sriram College in South Delhi's Lajpat Nagar. Four labourers and a 28-year-old engineer of Gammon India, the contractor of the project, were killed in the mishap, the second such incident in nine months.
