Corporation to cancel parking lot contract
The Coimbatore Corporation is in the process of
cancelling the contract of the person who had taken on lease the parking
lot at the Gandhipuram Town Bus Stand. Commissioner G. Latha told
journalists on Tuesday that the civic body had decided to terminate the
contract after it found the contractor charging customers in excess of
the prescribed amount.
The contractor was supposed to
collect Rs. 5 for 24 hours. But he had been charging customers Rs. 10
for three hours. The civic body officials found the contractor breaching
the contract terms a week or so ago and fined him Rs. 80,000.
It had decided to cancel the contract after he was found continuing the illegality.
Ms.
Latha said the action would serve as a warning for other contractors.
If members of the public found parking lot contractors fleecing them
they could send message to the grievance cell on 92822 02422.
