Why the government needs two wreckers on VIP duty? As it lacks in tow trucks they can utilize it in a more organized way. Sujon Mondal
Car parking beside roads is common phenomenon. Most of the shops or commercial buildings don't have parking area. Baily Road is mostly affected. S N Hossain
Best way to control parking problem is to introduce parking meters everywhere in the city. It will bring large revenues. For violation, parking ticket for every hour may be Tk 700. There should be special traffic police squad just to give tickets to offenders. David
Actually the main problem is our mentality. Everybody has a tendency to take a chance for parking whether or not this creates a problem for passersby/for movement of next vehicle. It is not created by the driver only but the owner is very much responsible. So, at first the owners of vehicles should change their mentality. Farhan Siddique
At first we need to understand whether the city dwellers have any other option or not because especially in Gulshan area it is very difficult to find a parking place. We do not have any other option. From my point of view government should try to resolve the parking issue firstly, then if someone park his/her car on street should be penalised.
