Mumbai, Kolkata miss CAS bus, Chennai catches it

In Mumbai, the Shiv Sena put a spoke in the rollout process. The West Bengal Government wants a few extra days' time to implement the system. But the information and broadcasting ministry is not willing to defer the CAS in Mumbai. The CAS Implementation Committee, which met here, took stock of the rollover process.
