CHANDIGARH, 8 SEPTEMBER: A delegation of M.C. Co-ordination Committee of Chandigarh Beopar Mandal consisting of Charanjiv Singh, Sanjeev Chadha, Parshotam Mahajan, Anil Vohra and Baljinder Gujral holds meeting with the Mayor Anup Gupta, apprising him about pending Trader’s issues and early resolving of the same.
. We urged the Mayor not to allow E.V. Charging Stations in the parking lots of congested markets.
One such charging station installed in the front area of Sector 44-D, Market which already have Taxi Stand, Vendor Zone nearby is likely to cause congestion should be shifted to some other vacant place. No such charging station should be installed in congested markets as these will further reduce the parking space and impede the smooth traffic in parking lots. Mayor said that we have already rejected in the House such stations in the markets still I will take up the matter with Home Secretary.
. Second issue was extension of parking opposite to Kesho Ram Complex Market by giving slop to road berms so that vehicles of customer can be parked. Traders of Kesho Ram Complex are suffering due to insufficient availability of parking space.
. Third issue was the unjustified pending notices to the trader’s under Advertisement Control Act ranging from Rs.1 Lac to Rs.8 Lac. These notices should be withdrawn or liquidated with minimum charges as applicable in the rules for shops which is Rs.4000/- per year for 2’ x 4’ standee.
. Fourth issue was rationalization of door to door collection charges for some Godown in Grain Market, Timber Market and some Offices in Sector Market whereas notice have been issued for Rs.2000/- per floor per month although rates mentioned in the notification is Rs.150/- per month per floor for SCO/SCF in Sector Markets. He assured to resolve the issue by getting it clarified in next House meeting.
. Fifth issue was to take up third list for exemption of interest on Property Tax which has already been passed by Property Tax Assessment Committee two years ago.
Mayor was kind enough to assure us to take up all issues sympathetically and resolve these issues at the earliest.
