-------- To, The Chief Secretary Goa Government.
I request you Sir, to kindly take up the matter seriously on this scam on Pay parking and Sopo at the CCP which is reported today ( 21st July) in all the newspapers. A UDC clerk has been suspended by the Commissioner of CCP Mr. Dipak Desai based on CCP Mayor Surendra Furtado instructions which is in the right direction. We, the senior citizens and Panjimites are been put in such a difficulties on Pay Parking in the city and have been harassed by these Pay Parking contractors agents even if we park our vehicle for a minute when we sometimes just have to enter in the shop. In Panjim when we go for some purchases or for a tea, and we need to park our vehicles in different roads or lanes, and why we should pay parking fees everywhere? This is not a good system. This is the thing which gives rise for scams. Perhaps the authorities can plan to have a parking area or multi-storage parking or underground parking at important places, or no parking in the city at all and the vehicles can remain at outskirts of the city and have a mini bus network or some convenience to reach the city. The scam in the CCP, must be investigated, and I feel higher staff or officers are involved into this racket. They must be also booked and taken action on even suspension after inquiries. We understand that the casinos operators and casino goers park their vehicles anywhere at D. B. Marg near Customs House and Capt. of Ports who do not mind paying fines or fees. They are the ones who are defecating and urinating and even having sexual pleasures in the night in their vehicles. For these acts Police must gear up and fine them. Near Caculo Mall vehicles are seen parking in front of so many "No parking boards" and why was discontinued clamping or lifting vehicles reasons are not known. All these vehicles must be lifted to the Police Station but not clamped because the owners prefer to keep their vehicles whole day and pay fine. There are also some individuals who damage our vehicles of innocent people by putting scratches when they do not get parking place. I feel this kind of parking system must be stopped. Hope you will instruct the police traffic Dept to be more vigilant. The Crime branch must be asked to investigate this CCP Scam immediately and book the culprits.
