The shoppers visiting Sakchi market can heave a sigh of relief as a smart parking lot will be set up soon to take care of their car parking problem.

The decision to have the parking lot in place was taken by Jamshedpur Notified Area Committee (JNAC) on Thursday. The proposed smart parking lot will be developed at the existing parking lot situated along Kalimati Road near Basant cinema.

Revealing the details, JNAC city manager, Sandeep Kumar Singh said, “The smart parking lot will be a multi-layer parking facility, which will have charging points for electric vehicles.”

“To make the multi-layer parking lot functional, car-lifts will be installed to ensure swift parking of the four-wheelers,” added Singh while talking to The Telegraph Online.

He also pointed out there will be adequate parking space for four-wheelers and two-wheelers in the proposed area.

The JNAC city manager also mentioned about having taken a decision for bringing about a smart parking lot near the Basant Cinema, but details like the number of parking floors and capacity are yet to be worked out.

“We will assign a consultant firm to make a detailed project report (DPR) for the proposed smart parking lot shortly. The details regarding the number of parking floors and vehicles-parking capacity beside other nitty gritty could be known only after the DPR is prepared,” he added.

Parking while shopping has become a big issue near Sakchi market. During the festive seasons parking problems get aggravated.
