Residents protest parking of vehicles near NorthCap

GURUGRAM: Residents and RWA members of Sector 23A held a protest at the NorthCap University campus on Friday, claiming that students park their vehicles in the area and cause several problems for them. They also filed a complaint with police in the matter. The daily traffic congestion in the area has raised pollution-related concerns. The traffic department has placed a median strip on the main road due to which the entry point into colony is blocked forcing commuters to take the route where students park their vehicles.Malkhan Singh Yadav, president RWA, Sector 23 A said, “We have been facing this problem for several years but there has been no work done to resolve it.” BS Tripathi, another resident, said, “Every day we face noise and air pollution issues. As per norms of the Pollution Control Board, no air pollution is supposed to take place within 100 metres of an education institute. Yet we are facing these issues here.” Residents questioned that if the university does not have a designated parking area, how could authorities allow it to run. Behind the university building, there is a 6-acre land. “But the vehicles cannot be parked there because of a huge amount of mud,” said a university official.TOI contacted Mukesh Solanki, estate officer HSVP, who suggested that the residents should meet with the HSVP administrator. But calls to CS Khare were unanswered.
