There could be respite from parking woes to commuters, especially for those working in the Cyber City area in the coming days.
DLF has sought approval from the Municipal Corporation of Gurgaon (MCG) to construct three multi-level car parking areas – two in Cyber City and one in DLF City Phase V. At present, there is not a single multi-level parking lot in the city. The MCG has been claiming that it would build one such parking lot in the old city but the plan has remained on paper for the past three years.
DLF, meanwhile, has constructed two such lots in Delhi. While the one at Sarojini Nagar is already operational, the trial runs are on at the other one in Connaught Place.
All the three parking lots will be 18 metres high and the builder has sought the fire safety NOC from the corporation. According to MCG officials, the matter is under consideration and they are verifying if the plan adheres to the building code.
“Since no such structures exist in the city, we are carefully going through the proposal before issuing the no-objection certificate. We are also consulting the urban local bodies department and have sought their comments,” said an official.
DLF authorities meanwhile say that they are awaiting the response of the municipal corporation.
“Multi-level parking is the need of the hour since there are so many vehicles getting added every day and the parking space is decreasing,” said an official. Even though there are a few parking lots in the Cyber City area, commuters get fleeced as the parking operators charge at will. “Parking remains a sore point in this area which boasts several multinational companies. We have clients visiting the area almost every day and it is quite embarrassing when they can’t find a decent place to park their cars,” said Subashish Ghosh, an MNC executive.
