‘Smart system’ to let you book parking slot through mobile app

By Sumit Blogs -

Gurgaon: The Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) is working on a plan to set up a ‘sensor-based parking management and guidance system’ to ease parking woes in the city. The authority is currently looking for spots where such a plan can be adopted, GMDA officials said on Saturday.
According to the officials, the system would be adopted on a public-private partnership (PPP) basis, along the lines of the one already implemented in Lucknow and in the pipeline for Bareilly. GMDA is also exploring the possibility of setting up electric vehicle charging stations.
“This is a concept of smart parking using sensors, wherein the entire parking system will be connected to GMDA’s integrated command and control centre. Payment can be made by the customer through either credit cards or FASTags. People can reserve parki-ng slots using the ‘My Gurugram’ mobile application,” a senior official from GMDA told TOI.
“We are also exploring the possibility of including electric vehicle charging stations. As of now, we are still discussing this plan and hope to adopt it soon. We believe smart parking is one way of resolving the issue of haphazard parking in the city,” said the official.
Although GMDA was initially considering adopting the system at three locations — Udyog Vihar, Sadar Bazaar, and near Rajiv Chowk, some of the busiest places in the city — it was found upon further examination that parking in these areas was “not feasible”, said officials.
This is because parking management is already being undertaken by the Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation at Udyog Vihar, and by the Municipal Corporation of Gurgaon in Sadar Bazar. Meanwhile, the land available near Rajiv Chowk does not belong to GMDA, officials said.
Lack of designated parking spaces in Gurgaon has been a constant issue for commuters and residents for several years.
In the absence of sufficient demarcated parking spots, people tend to park their vehicles on main roads or the roadsides.

The stage was about to be set for Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan’s ‘Vikram Vedha’ in Mumbai’s Film City. The material had reached. The artisans had been hired. But the lights have now been dimmed. Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi’s hit movie Vikram Vedha’s Hindi remake will not go on floors by mid-July as per the original plan. The new delta virus of COVID has sent shudders down many spines and many films which were being laid out on an expansive scale have been either held back or shifted their shoots abroad. The first schedule of this Hrithik-Saif movie will now be shot abroad. A source says, “The Mumbai schedule will be done but later.” Adds the source, “It’s a call that was taken yesterday. It wasn’t an easy call to take, no doubt, but the fact that it’s going to be a costly set made the makers take the safer route rather than be sorry later.” When contacted, General Secretary of FWICE (Federation of Western India Cine Employees), Ashok Dubey, confirmed that the makers of ‘V
