Udupi City Municipal Council Likely to Reintroduce The Pay & Park System For Vehicles

Udupi City Municipal Council (CMC) is planning to reintroduce the pay and park system for vehicles in the light of increased parking woes, said CMC president Sumithra R. Nayak on Wednesday.

Council members raised the issue of haphazard parking on the flanks of roads in the city triggering a debate. Udupi Town Traffic Police Sub Inspector Abdul Khader told the meeting that people going for work to Mangalore and other places keep their vehicles parked throughout the day haphazardly near the Service Bus Stand, Mythri Complex, Jataka Stand and surrounding areas. Indiscriminate parking also eats into the available space and introduction of pay and park system will help streamline it, he suggested.

CMC president Sumithra R Nayak said that suitable places to introduce the system will be identified and the issue will be brought before the council in the next meeting.
