Big Unauthorized Parking Racket at Dwarka Sector-13 metro station

Reported on November 29, 2012 from New Delhi , Delhi  ι Report #424

I am a resident of Dwarka Sector-18, I park my car at Sector-13 metro station and board metro daily.

Here at Sector-13 there is no parking of Delhi metro but an unauthorzed parking racket comprising of goons running for last many years.

the parking charges are more than metro parking -
charges here - 10 rs for 10 hrs and 20 rs thereafter.
And no overnight parking.

Whereas DMRC charges are in three slabs- 10,15 and 20 rs acc to hours and also provides overnight parking.

I also want to highlight that everyday around 500 vehicles are parked there.
If on an average a vehicle pays 10 rs
Amount they earn each day is 500*10 = 5000
and per month it is 5000*30 = 150000 = 1.5 lakhs
(All black with no taxes)
and over 1 year total loss to DMRC\Govt = 18 lakhs
over last 5 years loss from 1 metro station would be- 90 lakhs.

and people have told that the same is the situation with other metro stations like Sector-12, Dwarka possibly of the same guys.

To add more these goons running the parking racket dont take care of the vehicles parked there
and also put scratches on vehicles who complain that this is unauthorized parking.

And am also not sure why police is not doing anything to stop this unauthorized parking.

All these above may suggest that this is a very organised racket with de d, so that govt gets its share and this racket is finished.

Also for the residents of Dwarka who are right now not sure about about vehicles safety even after paying parking charges(Also can be said as HAFTA in this case).

What is your reaction after reading this report?
