Recently my 2 wheeler was parked one evening from no parking zone at JM Road infront of Hotel Panchali. The vehicle was being picked up by the "blue van" folks. When I went to the place where all picked up vehicles were dumped, my vehicle was kept in a corner wherein it had developed scrathes on the petrol tank and a indicator also had got broken. To my surprise....there was not a single person from the Traffic Police department; only contacts were the youths who tow / pickup the vehicles. They fined me for Rs 300; I paid as I dint want to keep the vehicle lying in unattended way throughout the night. Later when I asked for the receipt, they said that already I had paid a very less amount to take away the vehicle and hence cant give any receipt for that.
Three things which annoyed here a lot were:
1. There was no official authority to release the vehicles neither to receive the payment.
2. With ref to URL: http://www.punepolice.com/compoundingfees.htm. I had to pay only Rs 150/- where I payed double the amount.
3. Lastly is the collection getting into GENIUNE pockets... Was this information helpful? |
