Residents will heave a sigh of relief as the General House of the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation has deferred the agenda for increasing the parking fee and the number of paid parking lots in the city. The Mayor has formed a committee, headed by Arun Sood, a former Mayor, to recommend rates and the terms and conditions for allotment of lots. The MC had proposed to convert around 30 free parking areas into paid lots, besides enhancing the parking fee. The new paid parking lots had been identified in Sector 7, 19, 22, 23, 24, 36 and on Madhya Marg. When the issue came up for discussion at the meeting, councillors decided to wait for the report of the committee. The MC had proposed to charge Rs 10 for two-wheelers and Rs 20 for four-wheelers, which were to be doubled after four hours.
