To solve the chronic problem of parking of vehicles, Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Badal on Tuesday cleared the multilevel robotic car parking system in all congested commercial areas of all corporation towns.
Sukhbir, accompanied by local Bodies Minister Chuni lal Bhagat, reviewed the infrastructure requirements of various local Bodies especially the Corporation Cities on Tuesday.
He asked the local Government secretary Ashok Gupta to go for meeting for setting up robotic car parking system in all corporation cities.
“Parking problem is peculiar to the State with Punjab having the unique distinction of maximum vehicle density on the roads. In the fast growing State’s economy, the infrastructure has to keep a pace with increasing development and scientific parking system was the need of the hour,” he said.
Issuing instructions to all Commissioners to identify suitable locations for setting up multi-level robotic car parking, Sukhbir asked the Secretary to submit a proposal by next Monday positively. “Commissioners, besides working out the robotic car system, should also look into variable parking system as per the vehicle density and usage of different areas,” he added.
Asking the local Bodies to make sufficient parking area as a mandatory part of their building plan, Sukhbir said that it was imperative for the local Bodies and Housing Departments to ensure compliance of these instructions.
