Similar Actions in the Past
Last year, officials sealed the Reliance Smart Mall near Fatak due to similar parking violations. Later, the mall was allowed to reopen after making necessary parking arrangements.
Traffic Problems Due to Illegal Parking
Many malls and large shops in Sambalpur lack proper parking facilities. As a result, customers are forced to park their vehicles on the road, leading to frequent traffic congestion. Citizens believe that the administration should take strict action against all such commercial establishments to ensure smooth traffic flow in the city.
