MCD to add 45 authorised parking sites next month in Delhi
In the big city of Delhi, there is a group called the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, or MCD, that looks after city services like parking.
Right now, they manage about 450 places where people can park cars, bikes, buses, and trucks.
All those parking spots together can hold almost 90,000 vehicles.
Because many people park on the roads, traffic gets crowded and messy.
So, the MCD wants to create more places for people to park properly.
They have found at least 45 new spots in different parts of Delhi, like Central, South, Karol Bagh, and West.
Next month, they will start the official process to build these new parking areas.
When the new spots are ready, the city will be able to hold almost 95,000 vehicles in authorised parking.
This should help keep the roads cleaner and less crowded.
The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) plans to add at least 45 new authorised parking sites next month to ease parking pressure and reduce roadside congestion.
The new sites have been identified in the Central, South, Karol Bagh and West zones of Delhi, among others.
MCD currently manages around 450 parking sites with a combined capacity of nearly 90,000 vehicles, including four-wheelers, two-wheelers, buses and trucks.
Once the new sites become operational, total parking capacity under the civic body is expected to rise to nearly 95,000 vehicles.
Tenders for the new parking facilities are likely to be floated next month, and details of individual locations and capacities are yet to be finalised.
