Mall authorities defy orders
Ludhiana, July 29 The Municipal Corporation has failed to act against the violators, who have been inconveniencing the general public. The notice, sent two years ago, stated: “Within three days, plastic barricades should be removed and the public should not be stopped from parking their vehicles in the parking area. And in case, the authorities failed to comply with the instructions, action as per law will be taken against it.” An RTI Activist, Rohit Sabharwal, filed a complaint with Principal Secretary, Local Bodies, saying as visitors were not allowed to park their vehicles in the parking area, vehicles were parked in service lanes in a haphazard manner, resulting in traffic jams. The traffic jams led to unwanted accidents. If there is parking space in front of the mall, the
public should not be stopped from parking vehicles there. The authorities should take action against the violators and allow the visitors to park their
vehicles in front of the mall. Spokesperson for MBD Mall Manav Guram said the visitors avoided using the basement parking in order to save Rs 30. “They park vehicles in the service lanes at their own risk. We can allow a person to park a vehicle in front of the mall only when the basement parking is full. People park vehicles at their whims,” said Guram.
