The Municipal Corporation,on Thursday,passed orders prohibiting vehicles with stickers for free parking from being parked in the two parking lots where the token system have been introduced. The order will pertain to parking lots at Empire Store as well as near Sahib Singh & Sons in Sector 17.

The token system was introduced with the aim of decongesting the two parking lots after the proposal of the Punjab and Haryana High Court to make these vehicle free. The civic body had contended that it would be difficult to make the parking lots vehicle free. Instead alternates are being worked out to decongest these parking lots.

With the introduction of the token system,the number of vehicles to be parked in these two parking lots are restricted. While one of the parking lots has a capacity of 110 vehicles,the other is sufficient for 350. Vehicles are not allowed once the tokens are finished. When the system was not in place the contractors would allow vehicles,more than the capacity,to be parked in these lots. Since the capacity has now been reduced it has been decided that the vehicles with free parking stickers will not be allowed into these parking lots. These vehicles can however be parked in any other parking lot.

Chandigarh police will be assisting decongestion initiative of parking areas by challaning vehicles parked wrongly and haphazardly.
