Parking concerns addressed

Speaking about the parking problems in North Bengal, especially in Darjeeling and Kalimpong, Adhikari said that the Magistrates have been asked to find alternative places for parking to ease congestion and mentioned that due to the geographical constraints in that region, things might take some time.

Adhikari personally had also inspected a few check posts through the control room, which need strict vigilance.
