Festival shoppers run short of parking space

Police and Corporation should have foreseen the heavy crowds and vehicles, they say
The absence of sufficient designated parking lots in commercial streets has forced vehicle users to park on the roadsides, leading to traffic snarls at various areas in the city.
With Deepavali just two weeks away, business streets such as NSB Road, Singarathope, Chinnakadai Street, Big Bazaar Street, Nandi Koil Street, Super Bazaar, Shastri Road and Karur Bypass Road are teeming with shoppers. They witnessed heavy crowds especially during the latter part of the week, giving a tough time to police.

The High Court of Karnataka on Tuesday ordered the issue of a notice to the State government on a PIL petition, which had complained about disturbances caused to people residing in the localities around the National Public School situated in Rajajinagar 5th block due to use of loudspeakers with high volume in the school and parking of school buses in residential areas.
