Chairman, Standing Committee, Yogender Chandolia has demanded from the Lt Governor of Delhi to stop the implementation of the orders in which the directions have been issued to abolish one time parking fees from non-commercial and private vehicles and annual parking fees from commercial vehicles like buses, RTVs and Light goods Carriers and trucks.
Chandolia alleged that the NCT government of Delhi was misusing its powers to economically weaken the BJP-ruled Municipal Corporations by doing away with parking charges.
He said that it’s a political move and would result in a loss of hundred crores per year to the Municipal Corporations. It could have further increased keeping in view the number of vehicles increasing every year.
The chairman said the collection of said parking fee was initiated on the proposal of the Congress -ruled unified MCD in 2006.
Chandolia informed that unified MCD initiated the projects of developing parking at Q Block, Pitampura, Central Market Ashok Vihar, Kamla Nagar, Shastri Park, Sant Nagar, Rani Bagh, Lakkar Mandi, Padam Singh Marg, Karampura Commercial Complex and Qutab Road where almost 5000 cars could be parked.
