Finally, free parking facility at posh Khan Market will come to an end. Starting from next week, if you take your vehicle in the market, you will have to shell out comparatively higher parking charges following the orders of Supreme Court appointed Environment Pollution (Prevention and Control) Authority (EPCA). Following the direction of the body, the New Delhi Municipal Council has already issued tender inviting parties to run parking facility in the market. Director Public Relation NDMC Anand Tiwari confirmed the tender for the purpose has been floated and after the examining the documents, the paid parking system will come into force from next week. "Tender has been invited; paid parking will begin after a week after scrutiny of documents, which will take at least a week," said he. Tiwari, however refused to disclose the rates fixed by the council for the market. "We will examine the papers then only the rates will be finalized," added he. Though, sources said parking charges may be between Rs 10-20 per two hours against Rs 50 per hour reportedly suggested by the authority. However on the other hand, traders of the market conveyed their discontent over the development saying paid parking system is not going to solve the mess in the area. "We have appealed to the Monitoring Committee and NDMC as well to review their decision because it will further mess up the parking in Khan Market. We are trying our best to take up the matter at every administrative level," said Sanjeev Mehra, President, Khan Market Traders Association (KMTA). He further added the association has been maintaining the parking which is available to the people coming to the market free of cot since 1985 without any difficulty. "Imposing heavy parking charges will not deter people bringing their vehicle on the contrary it will cerate further chaos. The spill over will be on the adjoining roads as you see vehicles parked haphazardly on the roads near the malls in south Delhi," said Mehra.
