Delhi L-G calls for uniform parking rates across Delhi
Delhi Lieutenant-Governor Taranjit Singh Sandhu has ordered civic agencies to implement uniform parking rates and improve enforcement against illegal parking. The initiative aims to reduce congestion by integrating digital payment systems and real-time data across various municipal bodies.
Why it matters
Standardizing parking infrastructure is a critical step toward managing urban mobility and reducing traffic congestion in a rapidly growing metropolitan area.
Delhi Lieutenant-Governor Taranjit Singh Sandhu on Thursday directed civic and transport agencies to adopt uniform parking charges across Delhi and launch joint enforcement drives against illegal parking, as the Capital continues to grapple with parking shortages and congestion, according to a press release from Lok Niwas.
The L-G asked the MCD, NDMC, DDA and DMRC to coordinate the development of new parking facilities and ensure existing sites are fully utilised. He also called for an early framework for a unified parking authority for Delhi, with the MCD, NDMC, DDA and Delhi Police tasked with preparing a proposal, the statement said.
The directions came at a meeting with senior officials from the civic bodies, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation and Traffic Police to review parking infrastructure and mobility issues.
