“The then commissioner Varsha Joshi was very co-operative. She called us and took the initiative of providing alternative parking space. We agreed. But the rate that they were quoting to us was very high. The amount was about six lakh rupees per month. Then we negotiated and the contract was given to us for three lakhs,” Murali Mani, President of Market Association, Karol Bagh said. According to the contract, the Market Associations have complete responsibility for facilitating the markets with parking. The revenue earned by them will be used for the re-development of the area and the remaining will be submitted to MCD, which will allot lands for these associations to provide these facilities.
