Maharashtra
plans 'certified parking area' rule for new vehicles to combat traffic and
pollution
Extract from the article:
In a bid to tackle the burgeoning traffic
and pollution issues in Maharashtra, the state is contemplating implementing a
rule requiring a "certified parking area" for new vehicles.
State transport commissioner Vivek
Bhimanwar emphasized the necessity of this move due to the increasing number of
vehicles causing parking problems and road congestion. The proposal was
recently presented to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, stressing the urgency
of addressing the challenges posed by the rapid growth of vehicles on the
roads.
The idea behind the proposed rule is to
ensure that individuals looking to purchase a new
vehicle must demonstrate access to a designated parking space before being
allowed to register the vehicle.
This initiative aims to alleviate parking
shortages and road congestions caused by the surge in vehicle numbers. By
making it mandatory for new car owners to have a parking slot, the government
intends to curb the escalating urban issues related to traffic and pollution.
My
Take :
This idea was first mooted some 8 years ago when, through my following blogs ( sent as
emails to Cabinet Ministers / Chief Ministers etc ), I had pointed out that it
is NOT possible to implement it . Those interested to know why , should read
