BMC to create temporary parking facilities during festive season

In view of the upcoming festive season, the Bhopal Municipal Corporation will create ‘temporary parking spaces’ at different market places to ease traffic problem.

These temporary parking facilities will be created at the premises of schools and hospitals, a top official of the corporation said.

Meanwhile, BMC Commissioner Vishesh Garhpale has directed officials concerned to send letters to the head of the institutions and organisations near the main market places to cooperate by allowing the area for parking in their premises during the festive season.

Officials at the Corporatin said that the Principals of Sardar Patel Higher Secondary School, Karond, Government Boys Higher Secondary School, Bharat Talkies, Superintendent of Civil Hospital, Bairgarh have also been requested to allow their premises for using temporary parking space.

Bairgarh is a shopping hub for the city people and for people outside the city. During the festive season increase in the number of customers throng the Bairagarh market, which creates parking problem and by providing parking places at nearby places like Bairgarh Civil Hospital would make shopping easy and comfortable.

Huge crowd are witnessed every year in the Karond market and Old City market area Hamidia road, Navbahar sabzi mandi, Azad market, Chowk area and Jumerati area. Parking facility for residents visiting these market places is going to arranged at Karond Government School and Higher Secondary School near Bhopal Railway Station area.
