Traffic comes to standstill
Tribune News Service

Ambala, May 10
Traffic on the GT road was held up for more than one-and-a-half hour following a clash between Haryana Roadways staff and Maxi cab operators.

Hundred of buses were stuck up on both sides of the main bus stand following the clash.

Passengers had a tuff time, as the traffic came to a standstill.

The trouble started about 3 pm today when the Haryana Roadways staff objected to picking up of the passengers by the Maxi cab operators. This led to a clash, but nobody was injured.

The Haryana Roadways staff gathered at the main gates of the bus stand and near the over bridge and asked the bus drivers to stop the buses from both sides, which resulted in total suspension of the bus service from Ambala Cantt to other towns.

Senior civil and police officials reached the spot and their mediation brought about a compromise between the two parties, following which the traffic was restored.

Expedite process of setting up multi-level parking: HC
Saurabh Malik
Tribune News Service

Chandigarh, May 10
The Punjab and Haryana High Court today asked the UT administration to expedite the process of setting up a multi-level parking for lawyers, litigants and other visitors.

The project was expected to be completed by February, but it failed to meet the deadline. The traffic police, too, has been directed to be deployed after holding consultation with the High Court Bar Association.

As advocate Ranjan Lakhanpal brought to the fore the issue of parking problem on the high court premises, the Bench of Justice Jasbir Singh and Justice MS Sullar was informed by Bar Association former president Rupinder Khosla that the work of constructing the multi-level parking had come to a grinding halt six months back.

In an apparent attempt to underscore the problem, Lakhanpal asked Justice Jasbir Singh to take a walk along with him down the parking space “for the sake of old times,” when the judge was on the other side of the Bench, practising as an advocate. Lakhanpal added it has become impossible for the car to be taken out, even in case of medical emergency.

He also asked the Bench to ensure the deployment of adequate traffic police personnel in the parking lot. As the Bench asked UT senior standing counsel Sanjay Kaushal for his comments, he told the court that cops were already posted at the entry and exit points.

He added their deployment within the parking lot might lead to problems with the lawyers. Taking a note of the assertion, the Bench asked the administration to carry on the process in consultation with the Bar.

Acting on the long-pending demand of the High Court Bar Association, UT administration had decided to construct a three-storey building, including basement, at a cost of Rs 7.35 crore to ease out the ever-increasing parking problem of advocates. To be located near advocate-general offices of Punjab and Haryana, it is expected to accommodate around 700 cars simultaneously. Started in May 2009, it was to be ready by February. But till date, only half of the works is completed.

As a result, traffic chaos has become a common sight. The litigants and others frequenting the campus too are forced to park their vehicles outside. On one side, the vehicles are stationed in the parking of Rock Garden and on the other, till the roundabout leading towards secretariat of Punjab and Haryana.

Work on at snail’s pace
Tribune News Service

Chandigarh, May 10
Even as the Punjab and Haryana High Court today directed the authorities to expedite the work on the multi-level parking near the high court premises, the work is going on at snail’s place in the three multi-level parking lots at Sector 17.

While one parking lot is coming up behind the Sahib Singh and Sons parking lot, another two are coming up opposite Gurudev Colour Lab and Taj Hotel, respectively. Of them, the Sahib Singh and Sons parking lot is being executed on built-operate-transfer (BOT) basis.

The tug-of-war between the authorities and the company executing the multi-level parking project behind the Sahib Singh and Sons parking lot has held up the work for the past over three years. The shifting of the electricity sub-station by the Chandigarh administration apparently delayed the project. The clearance of the drawings from the UT architecture department has also been blamed for the stalling of the project.

Now, with the decks being cleared for the shifting of the electricity sub-station, the work seems to have gone on track with the digging work in progress at the site. Officials said the other two multi-level parking are still at the conceptualisation stage.
