Chandigarh, January 31:-In a firm move to ensure transparency, accountability and commuter convenience in the city’s paid parking system, Sh. Amit Kumar, IAS, Commissioner, Municipal Corporation Chandigarh, has directed all Executive Engineers (B&R), Sub-Divisional Engineers (SDEs) and Junior Engineers (JEs) to conduct regular field visits to paid parking sites falling under their respective jurisdictions.

The directive aims to closely monitor the supervision, functioning and conduct of parking attendants, ensuring that commuters are provided hassle-free and transparent parking services in line with established norms.

During a comprehensive review of the paid parking system across the city, the Commissioner also assessed the on-ground implementation of the recently launched “MC One Pass” parking system. He emphasized that the initiative is designed to promote ease of parking, digital adoption and eliminate malpractices.

The Commissioner categorically stated that any irregularity noticed during inspections will invite immediate and strict action as per rules. He further directed that senior officers must remain vigilant and proactive in addressing complaints or discrepancies related to parking operations.

It was also informed that the Commissioner himself will conduct surprise inspections of paid parking sites from time to time. In the event of any lapse or irregularity detected during such inspections, stringent action will be taken against the officials and staff responsible, strictly in accordance with the rules.

The Commissioner said that if any Market Welfare Association or any other institution wants to organise camp for making MC One Pass in bulk, the MC team will help in organizing such camps and create awareness among masses.

The Municipal Corporation Chandigarh remains committed to strengthening transparent governance, improving commuter experience and ensuring effective implementation of citizen-centric initiatives like MC One Pass.
