The civic improvements committee approved a policy allotting 50% of the city’s total number of parking lots to women self-help groups.
This policy, meant to break the stronghold of contractors operating the city’s parking lots, had been approved by the group leaders last year, following which an ex-councillor had moved court challenging the policy.
