Imphal, September 05, 2010:
A larger share of the parking fee collected from Khwairamband Keithel would be entrusted to Imphal Municipal Council.
A decision to this effect was taken during a meeting of the Traffic Regulatory Parking Committee (TRPC) held recently, informed a reliable source.
The meeting also recommended that 20 per cent of the parking fees collected from Khwairamband Keithel will be entrusted to the Police.
Even though the parking lots at Khwairamband Keithel are assets of the Imphal Municipal Council, Police have been managing the parking lots as the IMC could not handle it.
With the IMC unable to handle parking arrangements and fee collection at Thangal Keithel, Paona Keithel, BT Road, western side of Polo Ground, MG Avenue etc for a long time, these parking lots were run under the supervision of Imphal West District Police.
As per an understanding reached at the meeting, 20 per cent of the parking fee recommended to Police would be used in marking roads for traffic control and similar activities.
