(Express photo) The Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (GMADA) is preparing to issue final notices to several private hospitals in Mohali for violating basement parking regulations.
According to officials, these hospitals were allotted basement space specifically for parking, but instead, the areas have been repurposed for commercial activities, resulting in overcrowded streets and significant parking chaos outside hospital premises posing serious safety hazards.
These notices are being issued under Section 45(3) of the Punjab Regional Town Planning and Development Act, 1995. Despite already receiving three warnings, the responses submitted by the hospitals have failed to satisfy GMADA officials.
This issue was also raised by Mohali MLA Kulwant Singh during a legislative Assembly session. He pointed out that while hospitals were given permission to create basement parking, they flouted the rules by turning the space into commercial use, pushing vehicle parking onto public roads and creating severe traffic disruption.
