Steep fines were rolled back by BJP Govt., while Congress scrapped paid parking in 2005
The Karnataka Government’s decision to put on hold towing of vehicles for wrongful parking comes ahead of the run-up to the city’s civic polls, expected to be held in May later this year.
“People were being harassed by the towing staff. What our Government has done is a genuine pro-people move. In a city with over one crore vehicles, we expect it will be popular,” claimed a senior former BJP councillor.
