It is the Bhubaneswar One website which will serve as the platform. Here comprehensive online information on number and name of parking areas under the jurisdiction of BMC, including holding capacities of the lots and amount of parking fees designated for a particular vehicle will be available.BMC Commissioner Krishan Kumar informed that the work is progressing fast and if people want to take up parking facilities, BMC should be intimated so that it can fix the rates and upload all those information on the website. Strong actions will be taken against violators especially brokers who illegally collect parking fees at non-designated areas, Currently,49 out of 76 legal parking lots in the city have been put on tender, though parking fees is being collected from 27 lots only.
