Gurgaon civic body to construct three multilevel parking facilities

GURGAON: The Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) has identified three locations for constructing multilevel parking lots in Kaman Sarai, Hidayatpur Chhawani, and Sikanderpur Ghosi, urban local bodies minister, Kavita Jain said on Saturday in Chandigarh.

Jain said the state government has framed a parking policy to stop unauthorised parking on roads.

“Complying with the order of the ULB minister, we will be initiating the requisite process for the construction of multilevel parking projects at three sites,” MCG commissioner Yashpal Yadav said.

In February, the MCG officials had looked at sites near Sadar Bazar for constructing a multilevel parking, but owing to space constraints there, they had to shift their plan to Kaman Sarai, which is a bit further from Sadar Bazar.

Kaman Sarai, too, is a heavily congested market and residential area and its arterial roads are heavily encroached upon by stalls.

Sikanderpur Ghosi, the second of the three sites identified, is situated near the Delhi-Gurgaon border and the Golf Course Road and is also connected by the Yellow Line of the Delhi Metro. Owing to the presence of the Metro station, there has been an unprecedented expansion in the village over the last decade and it is home to several paying guest accommodations and guest houses.
