Sreedharan's resignation shocks DMRC officials

As E Sreedharan walked out of the eight-storey 'Metro Bhawan' today after resigning as its chief, his colleagues said they were shocked by the decision of the "strong but very simple leader".
    
Delhi Metro Rail Corporation(DMRC) officials and workers said Sreedharan's dramatic announcement that he was resigning came as a "rude shock" for them as they never expected such a decision from him following the accident. "He is a very simple man who took strong decisions regarding the Delhi Metro. If not for him, the DMRC would not have come to this level and completed projects well ahead of schedule," said a DMRC official.
    
"We are really upset with his decision and we also know that he won't go back on his decision to quit. I can say one thing for sure that no one can replace him in DMRC," he said. The official added that Sreedharan completed several projects of the Delhi Metro well ahead of the schedule. Any other country will take 50 years to achieve what Sreedharan has achieved in 10 years.
    
Another worker at DMRC said Sreedharan was a "very simple man and his decision has demoralised every worker of the company". "It came as a shock for us that he is resigning... we never expected such a hard decision from him," the worker said.
