Throught this forum I would like to bring to kind notice of respective authorities that the Traffic and the grievances of common commuters have gone over head in the city of Ghaziabad. There is no parking facilities provided by the Nagar Nigam at major traffic places like Gandhi Nagar, Ghanta Ghar, Turab Nagar, Maliwara Chowk, etc. And in case of vehicle being tow away, the fine is collected double else the vehicle is not returned.
Today, 29-08, my car was tow away from Maliwara chowk at 1:30 PM while I was waiting for Doctor's appointment, to Ghaziabad old bus stand and when I reached there to get my car back, agreeing to pay the fine, I was asked Rs. 200/- as fine amount. When I asked for the receipt, I was given Rs. 100/- receipt (Book No. 174, S.No. 8676) and a copy of challan mentioning Rs. 100/- collected (Challan No. 0083876). On arguing that the receipt is of Rs. 100/- only, I was told that Rs. 100 is for Crane Charge for towing for which receipt is given and another Rs. 100 is for challan.
On checking at website and other places, I found that actual fine amount is Rs. 100/- for parking at no parking zone. Then this conduct by Traffic Police personnal is harassing. I am not attaching the photos of the receipt and chalan here but it can be provided if required.
