Unimpressed by the civic body's revised, and reduced, parking fines, a chunk of citizens is sticking to its plan of going to court against it. Based on a January 6 circular, unauthorised parking within 500 metres of a public parking lot or a BEST bus depot will result in 40 times the charge of the public parking lot.

In case of the city's four arterial roads that have been declared as no-parking zones, vehicles will have to shell out 80 times the parking charge. Additional municipal commissioner Vijay Singhal said, "We modified the parking fines to make them reasonable and also a good enough deterrent. The new rates will come into effect this week."
