Jaipur Traders Protest No-Parking Zone Plan
Imagine if the city decided to not allow parking in one of the busiest shopping streets.
That's what happened in Jaipur's Bapu Bazaar.
The city said no more parking there, but the shop owners in nearby areas are upset.
They think the new rule will just move the traffic problems to their streets, making things worse.
The shop owners say the city didn't even ask them before making the decision.
They believe the city cares more about money from parking than helping shoppers and shopkeepers.
Traders in Jaipur are protesting the no-parking zone in Bapu Bazaar.
The decision is expected to increase traffic in Johari Bazaar and Chaura Rasta.
Traders' associations criticize the decision as impractical and ill-planned.
They claim the decision was made without consulting market associations.
The corporation's focus on revenue is seen to be at the expense of public convenience.
