Deputy Chief Minister of Punjab Sukhbir Singh Badal today okayed the multi-level robotic car parking system in the congested commercial areas of all Corporation Towns to solve the chronic problem of parking.
He said that parking problem was peculiar to the state, with Punjab having the maximum vehicle density on the roads. He said in the fast-growing economy of Punjab, the infrastructure had to keep pace with increasing development.
Issuing instructions to all Commissioners to identify suitable locations for setting up multi-level robotic car parking, Badal asked the Secretary to submit a proposal by next Monday positively. He said that the Commissioners besides working out the robotic car system, should also look into variable parking system as per the vehicle density and usage of different areas.
Taking serious note of vehicles parked illegally around the roads and in the commercial areas, Badal issued instructions to the Director General of Police to strictly toe away wrongly parked vehicles. He said that no body can be allowed to hinder the smooth flow of traffic and traffic police has to be vigilant against unauthorized parking.
