JAMSHEDPUR – A concerning rise in illegal parking activities by unauthorized operators disrupts traffic flow in Bistupur and Sakchi areas.

The unauthorized operators collect fees beyond designated zones.

Meanwhile, the practice has spread across major commercial areas.

Moreover, these operators often use intimidation tactics.

The P&M Mall area faces particular challenges.

Furthermore, vehicles cluster dangerously beyond marked boundaries.

“These illegal practices happen daily,” reports a local shopkeeper.

In addition, pedestrians face significant risks.

The unauthorized parking causes frequent traffic bottlenecks.

Moreover, the issue affects both two-wheeler and four-wheeler owners.

Besides, local businesses report declining customer footfall.

“We’ve received numerous complaints about these activities,” states a JNAC insider.

Meanwhile, similar issues plague other market areas.

The JNAC has designated specific parking zones.

However, operators frequently ignore these boundaries.

Furthermore, the situation worsens during peak shopping hours.

On the other hand, legitimate parking spaces remain underutilized.

The authority plans to implement stricter monitoring systems.
