“In the coming eight days work order will be given to one of the agencies and the implementation process will start from March 1. This will help to check illegal parking,” said Santosh Londhe, chairperson, standing committee, PCMC.

The proposal for the policy was passed in 2018 which had got clearance, but due to objections from various stakeholders over parking rates the policy was not implemented.

According to the new rates – two-wheeler will have to pay ₹5 for one hour, four-wheeler and tempo ₹10, minibus ₹25, truck and private buses ₹100 per hour.
