The Nilgiris : Social activists have urged the Ooty municipal authorities to evict encroachments which have cropped up in the new parking lot in the Kandhal area of the tourist town, Ooty.
"To address parking woes, a parking lot was created in the Kandhal area and tourist vehicles coming into Ooty via Gudalur were parked here. Even though the parking lot has been fenced, encroachers have put up a mechanic shop and an automobile spare parts shops after pitching tin sheds in the parking lot, due to which vehicles coming into the town are facing parking problems," bemoaned the activists.
The social activists have appealed to the town's municipal authorities to evict these encroachments from the Kandhal parking lot to ensure space is reserved only for incoming tourist vehicles in the city.
