Nagpur: Visitors to airport just coming in to pick up or drop passengers are unnecessarily having to cough up Rs 30 parking charges as they find passage in circulation area blocked by illegally parked vehicles. Many vehicles, particularly those belonging to hotels and so-called VIPs, are routinely parked in this area which is supposed to be a no-parking zone. Besides obstructing genuine passenger vehicles they also pose a security risk.
Thanks to the obstructions, on several occasions, other vehicles are not able to pick up or drop their passengers within the 10 minutes allowed to them. If a delay occurs, the parking contractor charges them Rs 30 for parking.
Though separate lanes were marked for VIPs and other passengers, but at airport everyone becomes VIP. Even petty politicians park vehicles in both lanes as police and airport authorities are too timid to act against them, passengers complained.
