Even the stiff opposition that the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) faced for its steep parking fines has not been able to deter it from imposing some more fines in this regard. Since Sunday, the civic body has towed 243 vehicles that were found parked within a 500-metre radius of public parking lots and have levied heavy towing charges, implemented last week."

However, the issue that the BMC is facing now is that 118 unreleased vehicles have occupied space in the public parking lots. These include 52 two-wheelers, eight three-wheelers and 58 four-wheelers. Most of the unreleased vehicles belong to people from Zone IV, which includes Bandra and Andheri West, as they are yet to pay their fines.
