To curb the rapidly increasing vehicular
population in the city, the Delhi government is mulling a number of measures,
including hefty hike in parking fees, introduction of congestion charges for
entering in specific areas and improving the public transport system.
The government has already taken an in-principle decision to increase parking fees on the recommendation of the Environment Pollution Control Authority (EPCA) and the high court-appointed Special Task Force.
It is also planning to significantly hike penalties on vehicles plying without prescribed emission norms, fitness certificate and Pollution Under Control (PUC) certificate.
“Increasing vehicular population is a major challenge facing the city and we will have to take tough decisions to deal with it. The measures are being considered at the highest level,” a top official in Delhi government said.
As per government statistics, the city currently has over 65 lakh vehicles which was just 5.62 lakh in 1981. The total number of vehicles in Delhi is more than combined total of vehicles in Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata. On an average over 1,000 vehicles are added to the city roads everyday.
The official, quoting a study said, said currently 11 per cent of total area in the city is being used for parking space and it was time to take some drastic steps to control number of vehicles.
The high court-appointed Special Task Force, in its report in February, had also strongly recommended hiking the parking rates significantly.Huge range of polished tiles including polished tiles,Find detailed product information for howo truck piston ring,
Qataris have called for stringent action by traffic and municipal authorities against drivers who abuse mosque parking lots to park their vehicles haphazardly and illegally.
Ahmad Al Shaib, a municipal councillor from the Um Salal called for urgent action to address the “negative phenomenon” but added that local people also had a role to play.

Al Shaib added that families should learn to come together to the mosque to reduce the number of vehicles.
“Each member comes in his car and this of course compounds the difficult situation. Car pooling, at least for relatives, is a necessity,” he said.
Most mosques in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries have large parking lots to help worshippers park their cars and offer their group prayers on time. Muslims pray five times a day.
Saleh Bin Jaber Al Nabet, councillor for Abu Hamur district, said that vehicles to transport company workers were mainly to blame as they were often parked in mosque parking lots.
“They are the main cause of haphazard parking and of taking up space normally allocated for worshippers,” he told Al Sharq. “However, I am confident that with the relocation of bachelors’ accommodations outside the city, the situation will improve.”
Faisal Ishaq, a Qatari national, said that the lack of parking space often prompted drivers to park their cars illegally on the sidewalks or on a road lane.
“This is unfair and gives a bad impression about our culture,” he said. “People should be aware of the harm they cause and should learn to respect others. I think they do it because there is no reaction to their attitudes and I wish the traffic authorities would penalise them.”
For Mubarak Al Nabet, stringent action is needed against those who park their vehicles on the mosque parking lot.
