KOLKATA: Lalbazar has ordered the prosecutions of vehicles parked in notified no-parking zones. Sergeants have been given the nod to slap cases on the vehicles violating the rule, even if they belong to VIPs or use beacons. In the 11 days of this month, 25 traffic guards have reported 13,269 cases of illegal parking across the city or an average of 1,206 cases of illegal parking daily when pandemic restrictions are yet to be completely lifted and many are still working from home.
According to sources, among the cars prosecuted are those using special stickers for parking illegally. “Around 8%-10% of all the cases had motorists using fake parking stickers,” said cops.
“We have ordered prosecutions against all the vehicles parked in notified no-parking zones,” said DC (traffic) Arijit Sinha.
Lalbazar has ordered a crackdown on the use of beacons and tinted glass after some fraudsters like Debanjan Deb and Sanatan Ray Chaudhuri were found using it.
