NEW DELHI
Two multi-level shuttle parking facilities in Greater Kailash and Punjabi Bagh, inaugurated by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta two months ago, have become operational on Monday.
The delay was due to long-pending compliance requirements for which the responsible official has been terminated, as per the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) release.
Although construction of the ā¹63.7-crore automated parking structure was ongoing for three years, the Greater Kailash facility couldnāt be made operational because MCD was still waiting for mandatory approvals related to tree-felling along the boundary of the site. These trees had to be cleared to create a six-metre-wide corridor for emergency vehicles.
āPermission to cut down 18 trees was sought from the Forest Department, and while the approval eventually came through, a few other compliances were still pending. The official responsible for the delay has been terminated,ā an MCD official said.
Parking facilitiesā capacity
The parking facility in Greater Kailash, situated on a 2,240 square-metre plot and equipped with a robotic system across its ground floor and eight upper levels, can accommodate 399 cars. The MCD has set aside ā¹10.3 lakh for transplantation and new plantation as part of the clearance process.
The Punjabi Bagh multi-level puzzle parking was delayed due to a pending fire NOC. The five-storey facility, worth ā¹31 crore, can accommodate up to 225 vehicles.
