KARACHI:
Faisalabad’s most important commercial hub, Ghanta Ghar, and its surrounding bazaars are suffering from a serious parking crisis. Last week, I parked my bike near Ghanta Ghar to visit the market. There was no ‘No Parking’ sign displayed anywhere, nor has the administration designated a proper parking space for visitors. When I returned, the traffic police had towed my bike away, forcing me to pay a fine and causing a massive waste of my time. Thousands of citizens visiting Ghanta Ghar face this distress daily. If parking is not allowed, clear signboards must be installed first, and parking plazas should be introduced for the citizens. Imposing fines on citizens without providing signs or proper spaces is completely unfair.
