Illegal parking leads to unnecessary traffic issues,” said Mahindra Singh, city magistrate.

Through the notices, these organizations will be asked to ensure that spaces used for illegal parking should be vacated within 15 days. Anybody who will fail to act as per the notice, strict action will be taken against them.
