    "Earn 500": Govt to reward person sending pics of wrongly parked vehicle, says Gadkari

    The minister expressed regret that people do not create parking spaces for their cars and instead park them on the road.

    Digital Desk: You can earn Rs 500 by just sending a picture. Yes! A person sending wrongly parked vehicles may soon get a reward of Rs 500 in case of the fine works out to be Rs 1,000, the Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari said.


    The minister further said that the problem of parking is increasing rapidly in big cities.



    "Main ek kanoon laane wala hun ki road par jo vehicle khadi karega, uska joh mobile se photo nikal kar bhejega, usko agar Rs 1,000 fine hoga, toh Rs 500 photo nikalane wale ko milega. Toh parking ka problem solve ho jayega (I am going to impose a law under which a person sending photograph of a wrongly parked vehicle will get Rs 500 if the total fine works out to be Rs 1,000. Then the problem of parking will be solved, "he said.


    The minister expressed regret that people do not create parking spaces for their cars and instead park them on the road.


    In a lighter vein he said "In Nagpur, my cook also owns two second-hand cars... A four-person household now has six automobiles. Delhi residents look to be lucky, since we have built a road for them to park their vehicles... Nobody creates parking places; most people park their cars on the street."
