In an exclusive news report, Bharat Express exposed the Delhi parking scam.
A large sum is collected in the name of parking in the capital’s malls and posh areas, keeping the fixed rules and rates in check. What is the truth about parking in Delhi? This exclusive report by Bharat Express’s undercover reporter Raju Gupta and SIT head Subodh Jain will expose it in Operation ‘Parking ke Pocketmaar’.
The practice of free parking in malls in Delhi’s capital has been going on for several years. But the reality on the ground is quite different. Under the Municipal Corporation’s nose, such locations charge exorbitant parking fees.
The undercover reporter of Bharat Express arrived at the parking area here to expose the parking scam going on in Delhi’s Select City Walk Mall. Huge parking fees were openly collected from the unsuspecting public. Every day, hundreds of vehicles arrive, and this number skyrockets on Saturday and Sunday. In a month, this recovery in the name of parking costs many lakhs of rupees.
Employees collecting parking fees at DLF Avenue Mall in Saket stated that two-wheeler parking costs Rs 10 per hour and four-wheeler parking costs Rs 20 per hour. Similarly, parking for four-wheelers at MGF Metropolitan Mall in South Delhi is Rs 40 for the first two hours and Rs 10 per hour after that.
The parking staff of Hauz Khas Village asked for twenty four hundred rupees for one month pass for car parking and eight hundred rupees for two wheeler parking. This person told that this parking contract has been raised for twenty five lakhs.
According to the parking rate list of MCD, Rs 1200 has been fixed for the day pass of the car for the whole month and Rs 2000 for the day and night pass. 600 rupees per month has been fixed for the same day pass for two wheeler parking. That is, the contractor who offers the top-up in the corporation is openly committing robbery by charging more money from you.
Let us tell you that on October 10, 2019, the Committee on Petitions of the Delhi Legislative Assembly wrote a letter to the DDA regarding collection of illegal parking fees in Select City Walk Mall, DLF Mall, Saket and Max Hospital Saket, under the Master Plan/Building Bye Laws-2016. It has been said to ensure free parking.
Apart from this, the committee was told by the SDMC at that time that since the land for these malls has been given by the DDA, their jurisdiction does not come under the bifurcated corporation i.e. South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC).
