Sambalpur: Police in Action Mode for Sitalsasthi; Vehicles Towed as Crackdown on Illegal Parking
- Fines Imposed on 14 Vehicles for Illegal Parking
- Tow Van Started Removing Vehicles from Saturday
Sambalpur: As the Sitalsasthi festival approaches, there is a significant gathering of people in Sambalpur city. With many friends and relatives visiting, the city is witnessing increased congestion. The ongoing parking chaos has become a major headache for the police administration. Despite repeated requests, the Sambalpur police have now taken strict action. Many people in the city own four-wheelers but lack sufficient parking space. Consequently, they park their vehicles on the roads in front of their houses. This results in unnecessary congestion in Sambalpur throughout the year. During the Sasthi festival, the city’s population doubles, exacerbating the problem.
