New Delhi: Delhi BJP on Thursday alleged that rampant illegal parking had been happening around the Town Hall and Hardayal Library complexes in Chandni Chowk and the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) was aware of it.
Delhi BJP spokesperson Praveen Shankar Kapoor claimed that illegal parking was a problem from Bankhandi Temple to Town Hall and around Hardayal Library.“After AAP started running MCD in Jan 2023, illegal encroachments have increased in the entire Old Delhi. In the Town Hall-Hardayal Library area in Chandni Chowk, 700-800 vehicles are parked illegally every day,” he alleged, claiming that the parking was probably being operated by some people in connivance with MCD officials of the Sadar-Paharganj zone.
“We have brought the issue to the knowledge of commissioner Gyanesh Bharti, DCP (north) Manoj Kumar Meena and the DCP (traffic),” Kapoor added.
At the parking, attendants are charging Rs 200 per vehicle for eight hours and Rs 100 for three hours, said the Delhi BJP spokesperson. “MCD officials as well as the remunerative project cell are aware about the activity, but are silent due to the pressure from the ruling party,” he alleged.
Now this illegal parking has become so regular that the people parking their vehicles there leave the keys with the attendants, who even wear the yellow jacket like the staff of parking facilities, Kapoor said. Delhi BJP has urged the MCD commissioner and the DCP (north) to stop the practice, otherwise local party workers will protest against it, he said.
A Delhi Police official said they were checking the situation on the ground and would take action if any illegal activity was found. MCD officials and AAP could not be reached for comment.
“It’s high time that MCD should take some corrective measures and action against those carrying out the illegal activity,” he demanded.
