Following news report appeared in yesterday’s Mumbai
Mirror :
Nearly a year-and-a-half
after the BMC offered citizens parking space on the roads for a fee, it claims
it has found no takers and the policy
could be abandoned altogether.
“We have the NOCs from
the traffic police for 34 more applications but the housing societies have not
shown interest. As of now, only
two societies have taken up the parking spots. The policy has not taken off as
expected,” Assistant Municipal Commissioner (A Ward)
Kiran Dighavkar said.
“From the feedback we
have received, it seems people find it irritating that they have to move their
car from the parking spot at 8 am. But we can’t allow them to park beyond that
as there is hardly any space on the roads during the morning and evening rush
hours. Also, with several roads dug up due to Metro construction, there’s
absolutely no space available,” a BMC official said.
Narwekar claimed the BMC
may have wanted to scrap the policy so that it could dole out pay-and-park
contractors. “It appears the parking mafia
is pressurising the BMC,” he said.
All I did was to point out this scheme as :
Un-ImplementableLaws : Unstoppable Corruption [ 20 Feb
2017 ]
But in my blog , I did suggest an “ unbiased and corruption proof “
technology-based solution which could earn BMC, nearly Rs 10,000 crores per
year , from parking fees !
How much could my suggestion earn all the
Municipalities of India , every year ?
Considering that our total ( country wide ) population
of vehicles is more than 60 times the number of vehicles in Mumbai , this could
well be Rs 6 lakh*crores
For an investment of just Rs 50 crore ! No “ April fool “ this !
You don’t have to believe me . Just ask Dr K Sivan , Chief of ISRO
