Chandigarh just needs to emulate Gangtok model





CHANDIGARH: The proposal of Chandigarh police permitting registration of new vehicles only to those having enough parking space, can be easily based on the Gangtok model that has successfully executed similar rules to fight traffic congestion through "get a garage before wheels" concept. This was introduced in July 2010 to downsize the mounting pressure of private vehicles in Gangtok city.


TOI had reviewed the Gangtok model in these columns in January 2011.


According to rules notified in Sikkim in July 2010, it is mandatory for buyers of new vehicle to produce a certificate proving availability of parking space before they can get their vehicles registered.


The in charge of traffic wing of Gangtok has been mandated to issue certificates after physical verification of parking space of buyers. Physical verification of the site is done by motor vehicle inspector of the area. The registration certificate is issued only after clearance certificate along with the rough map of the site from the traffic wing that the owner has sufficient place to park the said vehicle in his house.
