The district administration has decided to take stern action against illegal parking on roads near schools in the city . On Thursday, several private carriers parked in front of a school on Keston Road and near Government General Hospital were seized and taken to the District Collectorate. The parked vehicles were towed away to the Collectorate with the assistance of the Traffic Police.
The vehicles were released after the owners gave a written undertaking not to park their vehicles on the road for a long time after dropping students at the schools. The administration decided to initiate action against illegal parking following complaints of traffic snarls caused due to haphazard parking near schools.
District Collector Biju Prabhakar told The Hindu that the Road Transport Officer had been instructed to seize vehicles parked on Keston Road. “We have also instructed the RTO to seize vehicles mounted with generators parked on roads for a long time.
