KOLKATA: Traffic congestion eased both outside and inside the airport on the first day of the implementation of the brand new parking norms on the Kolkata airport. On Wednesday, private car homeowners had been elated on the abolition of the 10-minute window and had been glad as well with the pocketfriendly parking price — Rs 40 for a 30-minute keep on the car parking zone.
As per the updated gadget, automobiles had been provided with entry time tickets and had been diverted to a few other paths — one for private vehicles and app cabs, the opposite for commercial vehicles and any other towards the car parking zone. The get entry to price of Rs 60 and the parking price (Rs 40 for smaller automobiles and Rs 60 for SUVs for first 30 minutes) must be paid prematurely on the time of entry. The previous exit kiosk out of doors the airport premises used to be shut down from Wednesday because the updated parking price used to be being collected on the parking exit counters.
Parking attendants, wearing orange jackets with reflectors, had been posted on the pathway out of doors the terminal the place the automobiles prevent to pick and drop passengers. They saved alerting drivers at regular periods if found crossing the Three-minute living time and requested them to both move out or input the car parking zone. If some automobiles hunted for some extra time, they allowed it.
“With no more computerized calculation of time, the brand new gadget offers us a more human connection the place we will talk to the attendants in case it takes us one or two minutes more. In my case, they allowed me to stay there for two additional minutes as my aged aunt needed to move to the washroom,” said Sumit Mukherjee, a resident of Lake Town, who had come to pick his aged uncle and aunt.
For those that were crossing the time limit, the attendants requested them to power to the car parking zone. “We are refraining from penalizing private automobiles from as of late. In case any individual is located taking too much time, we're asking them to head to the car parking zone. But if the motive force refuses and misbehaves, we're calling the police officers,” said Sanjay Atha, the director of Wenz, which is accountable for manning car parking on the airport. Atha added till 8pm on Wednesday, six automobiles had been booked and slapped a high quality of Rs 400 each for parking out of doors the designated parking house.
While private car homeowners had been pleased with the alternate, the ones availing commercial vehicles weren’t pleased with the get entry to price. “I had called the place of job car to pick me up and would have left the airport in lower than 10 minutes. Earlier, I didn’t have to pay anything. But as of late, I had to shell out Rs 60 simply because a car with yellow number plate had come to pick me,” said Sanjay Chowdhury, who works at an IT firm in Salt Lake.
