Parking Shortages and Encroachments Cause Inconvenience in Amritsar City Areas
Amritsar faces significant parking challenges as open-air eateries occupy public parking spaces at Nehru Shopping Complex and Novelty Chowk, inconveniencing shoppers and traders. Additionally, a shortage of parking near the Golden Temple, compounded by around 20 non-functional automatic bollards on Heritage Street, disrupts traffic and visitor access. Local NGOs have urged authorities, including the SGPC and district administration, to address these issues by enforcing regulations and exploring temporary parking solutions in vacant nearby areas.
