The haphazard parking of vehicles on the roads in the capital city, besides causing traffic jams, has become a nuisance for the commuters. So, the Commissionerate police have decided to crack down on the menace.
Vehicles parked on congested stretches of roads in the city would now be towed and fine would be imposed on the owner.
The police have taken a decision to regulate parking and ensure smooth vehicular movement.
Citizens have been advised not to park vehicles on predominantly congested stretches of road. They have been asked to park their vehicles at designated parking spaces or park it away from main road.
The violation would attract a fine of Rs 500.
The rule would be implemented stringently particularly on the stretches from the IDBI Bank Square to Veterinary College, National Highway-16 via Empire Hotel, Alok Bharti Building to Saheed Nagar Durga Puja Mandap on the Janpath, Kalyan Jewellers on Janpath to Charka Medical Store via Sparsh Hospital and Trupti Service Station on Janpath to Saheed Nagar entry point.
