STATE BJP VOICED FOR CAR PARKING

STATE BJP VOICED FOR CAR PARKING
Gangtok, May 25: State BJP made a complain to Chief Secretary and Secretary UDHD that the car park of the Supermarket in Development Area, Gangtok is being removed and a building is coming up to house the Government Department.
As per complain letter, the Supermarket in Development Area is an outcome of the initial project of Car park for Development Area. The project was initially started as Car park and later this is changed to Supermarket cum Car park. The proposal for car park at that time was initiated in the request of the residents of Development Area which is the only car park in the Development Area and the removal of the car park will lead to total absence of car park in Development area and the road side will be the only parking place in Development Area. The road is already narrow and the parking of vehicle in the road will lead to chaos in the road and the residents of the Development area will have no place to park their vehicle.
