Mayor promises to consider issues concerning Children’s Home
The second online meeting of the Kozhikode Municipal Corporation Council held on Saturday was rather uneventful and matter of fact.
The parking fees levied at various malls in the city from customers was once again the hot topic of discussion after NCP councillor N.C. Moyin Kutty brought in the issue through a submission. He said that a customer was asked to pay a fine of ₹300 at a mall in the city after he lost the parking card issued to him. Mr. Moyinkutty said that the malls were levying huge parking fees even though it was illegal.
However, Corporation Secretary K.U. Bini explained that the mall authorities had levied the fine from the customer as the card contained a micro chip, and hence, was costly. However, they were not levying parking fees. The corporation will take strict action if any mall was found to be levying parking fees, the Secretary said.
