After hawkers gone, Rs5cr multi-level parking in Sitabuldi opens for public

1 2 Nagpur: After the perennial congestion, primarily caused by hawker encroachments, was removed from the busy Sitabuldi market, the automated multi-level parking, which was lying vacant for months even after completion, has finally been opened for the public. The parking facility was set up by Nagpur Smart and Sustainable City Development Corporation Ltd ( NSSCDCL ) at a cost of around Rs5 crore in response to long standing complaints about congestion and lack of parking space in the market area. The automated system can accommodate up to 240 two-wheelers and 22 four-wheelers. A trained operator was appointed to manage the advanced parking system. Sources in the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) said due to heavy encroachments on the road, people were not able to reach the multi-level parking. "Since the hawkers have been removed, the parking could be made available to the citizens. We will now further promote the parking facility," said the official. Municipal commissioner and administrator Abhijeet Chaudhari along with DCP (traffic) Archit Chandak and other officials visited the area after the hawkers were removed and two-side parking was introduced on the main road.
