Most of the parking lots in the Kathmandu Metropolis that have
been charging can now no more charge as the Appellate Court today ordered not to
charge anymore.
Earlier, the Kathmandu Metropolis had tried to make the parking
free from December 15 but it was challenged at the Court. But after today's
verdict of the Appellate Court, most of the vehicles owners – both two-wheelers
and four-wheelers – must be relieved but the metropolis could also mobilise
more revenue.
Most of the parking caretakers have been paying peanuts to the
Kathmandu metropolis but making money at the cost of the people.
After the Court's verdict, the metropolis will now fix the areas
for free parking and put the sign. However, the vehicle owner must be conscious
not to park outside the parking area. If anyone parks the vehicle outside the
parking zone, they will be fined Rs 1,000.
But the case is still under
the jurisdiction of the Court and the final verdict is expected to make revenue
mobilisation from parking more transparent and accountable.
