New Delhi: In a clear evidence of multiplicity of authorities in the city, the standing committee of North Delhi Municipal Corporation on Friday approved parking rates for it’s parking sites which are completely different from the parking rates finalised by South Delhi Municipal Corporation for South Delhi areas. But the BJP ruled municipal
corporations are charging higher than parking rates being charged by New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) and Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) in it’s respective parking sites.
As per the parking rate approved by the standing committee of North DMC, you have to shell out Rs 200 for parking your car up to 24 hours in North Delhi area but the charges for parking a car in South Delhi are just Rs 100 for the same period which is equivalent to parking charges for parking a two wheeler in South DMC area for 24 hours.
The parking rates finalised by the house of South DMC are half for the multilevel parking than surface parking which shows the intention of the corporation to promote multilevel parking in its area while there is no such differential parking in North DMC areas. ‘We have approved the parking rates as per the requirement in our areas which are different from the parking rates in South DMC areas.
The house is the final power to make the amendments,’said Mohan Prashad Bhardwaj, chairman of the standing committee in North DMC. However, the parking rates for the first one hour are same in both the areas but the monthly charges for parking differ widely in both the areas. North DMC has a flat Rs 1500 per month for a car but South DMC will charge Rs 1200 per month for day hours and Rs 2,000 per for day and night hours. ‘East DMC may adopt the parking policy of North DMC or decide a different parking policy,’ said Y S Mann, Director Press and Information of North DMC and East DMC.
The mayor of North DMC, however, differs with the parking rates approved by North DMC.
‘I am of the view that the parking rates should be same for entire city for the convenience of the consumers. We will take up the issue when it comes in the meeting of the house for final approval,’ said Yogender Chandolia, mayor of North DMC. Delhi BJP president Satish Upadhayay said,’there should be same parking rate in the areas of all the three MCDs.’
The city already has two more parking policies as New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) and Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has different parking rates for it’s area.
