MCD May Auction Cars Parked On Roads

The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) is contemplating auctioning cars of the dealers of old vehicles who park them on public lands outside shops.

The matter was raised by a BJP councillor at a meeting of the standing committee today. Municipal commissioner K.S. Mehra suggested auctioning of the cars seized for being parked on public lands.
"The vehicles which are found parked on roads or public lands outside the shops dealing in second-hand vehicles are towed away by the corporation," said Mehra.

"We release the vehicles after charging a fine and being assured by the shopkeeper that he would not violate the law in future. But now, we are planning to take strict action against such violations," said Mehra.

On an average, each dealer parks 10 to 15 cars on the pavements and service lanes, especially in Lajpat Nagar, Karol Bagh, CR Park, Saket, Shakarpur and Tilak Nagar, causing inconvenience to the residents.
