Kullu Parking Chaos: Residents Revolt Against Police Challans
Kullu residents are up in arms against what they call arbitrary police challans for roadside parking. The anger stems from a severe lack of adequate parking infrastructure in the popular hill station.
Locals allege discriminatory enforcement, claiming some groups receive preferential treatment while others face hefty fines. This perception of bias is further exacerbating the situation.
Adding fuel to the fire are the exorbitant charges levied by unregulated private parking lots, leaving residents feeling exploited. These lots, often lacking basic amenities, charge far beyond reasonable rates.
The simmering discontent has spilled onto the streets, with residents demanding immediate action from the administration. They are calling for increased parking facilities and a fair, transparent system of enforcement.
This issue highlights a critical need for better urban planning in popular tourist destinations like Kullu. Failure to address the parking crisis could severely impact tourism and local livelihoods in the long run.
