Based on the complaints, officials inspected the parking lots and found that the contractor, Sumathi, who holds the lease, was collecting fees higher than the rates fixed by the Corporation.

Officials imposed a fine of Rs. 25,000 on the contractor for violating the conditions of the auction under which the parking lots were leased and issued a stern warning.

The Corporation warned all parking lot contractors to adhere to the prescribed rules or face consequences, including termination of their contracts.
