Pune The Pune Cantonment Board’s (PCB) decision to double parking charges has drawn flak not only from traders in the locality, but also from political parties. On Tuesday, the MNS strongly opposed the PCB move.

As per the public notice issued by the PCB the parking charge for four-wheelers for four hours has gone up from Rs 5 to Rs 10. For parking a four-wheeler for the whole day, the charges have gone up to Rs 20 from Rs 10 earlier. For two-wheelers, the rate has gone up to Rs 4 from Rs 2 for four hours. The rate for a day was Rs 4, now it is Rs 8. The move to increase pay-and-park charges in Cantonment areas faced stiff opposition from the traders in Camp area. The local unit of MNS has opposed the move and has threatened to launch an agitation against it. “The parking employees are not collecting the charges as per the rates laid down by PCB, which should immediately be stopped in the absence of which we would launch an agitation.”

MNS has also demanded that the PCB should also raise signboards like Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC), which will inform public about the exact charges. The group of traders claimed they were not informed about the changes and the new rates have been imposed without taking them into consideration prior to the decision.
