Different parking rates for congested areas planned
Parking rates could go up in certain parts of North
Delhi as the local civic body is considering a hike in congested areas
like popular markets.
North Delhi Municipal
Corporation Commissioner Pravin Kumar Gupta said on Monday that the
civic body was working on a new policy on parking rates, which would be
presented in the next meeting of the Standing Committee. Officials said
rates for busy areas would be more than less crowded spots.
The
current rates are Rs. 10 for the first 10 hours and Rs. 20 for the day.
A senior North Corporation official said the rate could vary from Rs.15
to Rs. 20 depending on the traffic. The South Delhi civic body hiked
rates last week, making the hourly rate Rs. 20 and the daily amount Rs.
100.
