New Delhi: A new parking policy will be implemented in Uttar Pradesh. After implementing the policy, people will have to pay for roadside parking even at night. Till now people used to park their car or two-wheeler anywhere at night, but now they will have to pay a fee for hours, days, weeks, and months. The state's Urban Development Department will charge three times the fee from those who park vehicles without a permit. A fee of Rs 100 will have to be paid for one night, Rs 300 for 7 days, Rs 1000 for 30 days and Rs 10000 for 12 months. The department has prepared a draft of the policy. Amrit Abhijat, Principal Secretary of the Urban Development Department, has also sought objections and suggestions on this order. According to sources, under the new parking policy, parking fees will be charged according to the population of the city.

Changes in the policy format

Principal Secretary Urban Development Amrit Abhijat said that changes will be made to the draft policy after discussing the objections and suggestions. Then the proposal will be presented in the cabinet meeting and implemented. The new parking policy has been made because till now the Municipal Corporation was charging fees arbitrarily due to lack of parking facilities in many cities. Cases of illegal parking also came to light in many places. Therefore, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath directed the Urban Development Department to make a policy for proper parking arrangements in urban areas.

Know what will be the benefits.

1. The Urban Development Department also believes that the new parking policy will significantly increase the income of municipal bodies.
