Constructed in 2016 for nearly Rs 50 crore: Public money goes down drain as Sec 17 multilevel parking remains underutilised

What Happened

Chandigarh's Sector 17 multilevel parking, built in 2016 for Rs 50 crore, remains underutilised with only 200-250 vehicles daily despite 900-vehicle capacity. Visitors avoid the facility due to poor maintenance, seepage, inconvenient location, and lack of safety measures. Officials propose incentives and improvements including play zones and monthly parking schemes to boost usage.
