The State Government said there was no clear policy in force on regulation of parking fee in theatres, malls and business establishments, and the Government will soon come out with a comprehensive policy. Minister for Municipal Administration K.T. Rama Rao said while replying to a question in the Legislative Council that there was no clear rule stating whether malls and theatres can collect fee or not and the Government is ready with a draft policy and the legal aspects are being studied.
Earlier, members said parking fee was forced upon the visitors in the malls even if they park for a few minutes to pick up food. M.S. Prabhakar Rao suggested that at least the parking fee should be waived off in the total bill if the malls want to avoid those parking free. The fee also varies in all the malls and business areas, he said and suggested that let the fee be not exorbitant to leave a bad experience among the visitors.
