Bhopal: The multi-level parking at MP Nagar wore a deserted look on first day of its inauguration as only thirty two-wheelers and fifty four wheelers were parked inside. Haphazard parking continued to mar the area, which aspires to get rid of the congestion for the ease of visitors.
Illegally parked vehicles cause congestion in the area of Zone one, which has around ten big hotels and restaurants. These outlets are held as the main cause behind the huge following of visitors and subsequent haphazard parking in the area. Though, other establishments too attract their share of regular visitors and contribute to the resulting congestion.
An estimated five hundred four wheelers and fifteen hundred two wheelers visit the area and multi-level parking is seen as a remedy to improve the experience and comfort of the visitors apart from tackling the nuisance caused by illegal parking.
However, the authorities are disappointed as the new parking in New Market and at Bairagarh have not been able to acquire visitors preference. The visitors have their own share of woes, which they want to be addressed, before they start utilising the facility. One of the visitor Free press spoke to said the facility has only one entry.
The authorities hope to break the jinx with the new parking at MP Nagar.
