New orders for no parking
A rant and one more reason to hate this city.
So this morning the police suddenly put up barricades and a “No Parking” board outside Platinum Mall, Ghatkopar East.
For years, people (including me) have been parking their 2/4 wheelers in that open space without any issue. There’s literally a police station right next to it, and until yesterday nobody objected or enforced anything there.
Now overnight, within a few hours, barricades are up and parking is apparently banned.
There is a pay and park space outside the local station(opposite rickshaw stand) but it costs ₹50 per day, which honestly isn’t feasible for daily ones.
What’s more confusing is that when I asked one of the police officers whether we could park on the opposite side, he replied: “Park at your own risk, because there’s a no parking board on that side too.”
Where are we supported to park is a big question mark now 🤦🏻♂️
So basically:
The usual parking spot is suddenly blocked;
Opposite side is also technically “no parking”; and
No proper clarification or alternative arrangement
Has anyone else around Ghatkopar East noticed this?
