New Delhi, February 16 Chief Minister Rekha Gupta and Lt Governor VK Saxena inaugurated a multi-level parking facility built by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) at the Nehru Place district center on Monday.
Gupta stated that the new, six-story modern structure can accommodate 650 four-wheelers and 352 two-wheelers at a time.
"Previous governments did not make the necessary efforts to establish effective coordination with the Centre and the Lt Governor, as a result of which several public welfare projects remained pending for years," the CM added.
"Now, Delhi is developing, and it is becoming cleaner because of this significant coordination, starting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the guidance of the Lt Governor, the hard work of the Delhi government, and the dedication of our officials," she said.
The chief minister added that Saxena has supported the new government at every step, which is why so many development projects are now underway.
Speaking about the newly inaugurated parking facility, Gupta said, "It is expected to facilitate parking for approximately 2,000 vehicles daily, on a rotational basis. This is a significant step, given Delhi's growing needs. A comprehensive plan is being prepared to develop parks or parking facilities on available DDA land in areas facing acute parking shortages."
LG Saxena said that the automated multi-level car parking complex at Nehru Place is a matter of great satisfaction.
"It fulfills a long-standing public need and will significantly ease parking congestion and traffic caused by unauthorized parking in the area," he added.
Reiterating the Delhi government's zero-tolerance policy towards unauthorized parking, Saxena urged citizens to actively use this modern facility and support the government's vision of a greener and smarter Delhi.
According to the DDA, the parking facility integrates intelligent parking management and guidance systems, including automated ticketing and digital floor displays that enable users to locate vacant parking spaces without unnecessary circulation.
"The facility is secured through comprehensive surveillance with 148 CCTV cameras and is equipped with advanced fire-fighting systems and disabled-friendly access provisions. It also provides nine electric vehicle charging points, supported by dedicated power infrastructure," the DDA said in a statement.
CM Gupta added that this new, six-story parking facility, developed at a cost of Rs 60 crore, is a step towards solving one of the city's biggest challenges, which is parking space.
