New Delhi: The South Delhi Municipal Corporation has once again warned the malls, hotels, and hospitals charging parking fees from ordinary people. The corporation has said that the parking charges are violation of the building rules and that such institutions can be sealed.
South Corporation has started preparing for the new rules to get the benefits of the parking available in the shopping malls and hospitals located in the area. The corporation says that the parking is mentioned as free on the building map of these hospitals, hotels and shopping malls. This is why they have been given a discount on the floor area ratio (FAR) of the building.
