Abhijeet Ambekar, executive engineer, PMC, said, “Till the new tender process is complete, these parking lots will be available for free. PMC will carry out the tender process and appoint the new contractors soon.”
There were several complaints about the parking lots amid residents alleging that they were being overcharged. Though PMC had fixed ₹3 for an hour and it’s printed on the receipt, they were forced to pay Rs10.
Pune city has a total of 31 parking lots and residents have complained of several issues here.
