Chandigarh MC chief urged to not allow vendors in parking areas

The Chandigarh Beopar Mandal has asked the Municipal Corporation to not allow vendors operate from the parking areas of the markets to ensure hassle-free parking for visitors during the festive season.

A delegation of traders’ body, led by its president Sanjeev Chadha, met MC Commissioner Amit Kumar and other officials today to discuss the issue of parking during the festival season. The delegation emphasised the need for immediate steps to upgrade parking facilities and beautify city markets.

They demanded that vendors should operate only from designated vending zones or vacant grounds near markets, keeping parking spaces and the area in front of shops clear.

The municipal corporation officials were informed that there was an urgent need to repair and recarpet damaged pavements and roads, provide fresh road markings in parking areas for optimum parking and install fancy lights and sitting benches.
