Kamrup (Metro) Deputy Commissioner M Angamuthu is among the recipients of a notice that seeks all establishments situated between Khanapara and Bharalu to inform the administration within a month if they have parking provisions or not. This information, according to the deputy commissioner, will just be the precursor of an on–the–spot verification by the administration so as to ensure a scientific parking plan in this stretch of the road. Talking to newsmen in the city today, the deputy commissioner said: “It’s doing the rounds that the entire stretch of the road from Khanapara toBharalumukh will be a no–parking zone. This isn’t true. What’s in the pipeline is a scientific parking plan that fits Guwahati like a glove. Some by–lanes will be chosen in this stretch of the road so as to find some parking places. This is being done for the benefit of all. What’s being done is very much within the parameters of the existing laws. All stakeholders will be taken into confidence while making this a reality.” The deputy commissioner said: “This is a fact that some owners of establishments in this stretch of the road park their cars on the road from 10 am to 10 pm. Some have been using the open spaces, which are a must in front of their establishments in accordance with the existing laws, as storerooms. The district administration will keep an eagle eye on such things. Those who have been served the notice have to inform the administration within 30 days so as to let the latter conduct its spot verification. There are also cases that some establishments that have parking provisions are charging fees from their customers or visitors. It’s just not done.” “Those who have no own parking places will have to get them done by a deadline to be stipulated by the administration. If they don’t, action against them may be up to cancellation of their trading licenses,” the deputy commissioner said, added that: “The new scientific parking plan will be in place in Guwahati by December 31. Enough time will be given for buildings that are very old.”
