Delhi LG Seeks Uniform Parking Charges Across Agencies
Delhi has several agencies that manage parking.
The Lieutenant Governor wants them to use the same parking charges.
He asked officials to plan one authority to coordinate parking across the city.
Officials from civic bodies, the police and the Metro attended a meeting about parking and travel.
He also wants existing parking spaces to be used more fully.
Agencies should work together to address illegal parking near those facilities.
A city plan for 2047 had already proposed a central body to oversee different types of parking.
It aimed to reduce conflicts between agencies.
Delhi Lieutenant Governor Taranjit Singh Sandhu called for uniform parking charges across city agencies.
The proposal covers the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, New Delhi Municipal Council, Delhi Development Authority and Delhi Metro Rail Corporation.
Sandhu chaired a meeting with officials from civic bodies, Delhi Police and DMRC to review parking and mobility issues.
He directed authorities to prepare a framework for a uniform parking authority for the Capital.
He also called for fuller use of existing parking facilities and joint enforcement against illegal parking near them.
