`Steps taken to regulate parking on road'

Staff Reporter

BANGALORE: The Bangalore city police have said that steps had already been taken to regulate parking of vehicles on the busy Racecourse Road in Bangalore.

In their response to a letter by a former High Court judge S.R. Rajashekara Murthy on the haphazard parking of vehicles on the road, the police said that the Racecourse Road was an important arterial road in Bangalore with heavy vehicular traffic.

Parking of vehicles had been allowed from the Trilight Junction to the Janata Dal (Secular) office and buses belonging to the India Tourism Development Corporation (ITDC) and a private travel company used to park their buses for some time to pick up and drop tourists.

After some of the residents complained about the parking of the buses and the inconvenience caused to them, the police said they had from June 30, 2006 prohibited parking of all types of vehicles.

The police have filed the response in the Karnataka High Court as the court had treated a letter by Mr. Murthy as a suo motu public interest litigation (PIL) petition on regulating parking.
