Do you work in an office near the Delhi High Court? If yes, this judgement will surely bring you some relief. Space for parking nearly 200 cars will now be available at the parking lot in the court complex for outsiders, a Delhi government official told MiD DAY.
Not only the lawyers of Delhi High Court, but also anyone going to nearby areas would benefit from the automated underground car parking in the court complex.
"Although 85 per cent of the car space would be reserved for lawyers, the rest can be used by visitors. Anyone who goes to various offices in ITO can use the parking space in the court premises," said the official. The parking project has been cleared by the city government on Monday and will cost Rs 182.71 crore as per the revised plan.
"The revision is due to cost escalation and inclusion of the scope of work for five year maintenance," Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit said.
The automated car parking which is to be constructed by Delhi Metro Rail Corporation will have six levels to house 1,550 cars. Earlier the construction cost was estimated to be Rs 125 crore and the parking facility was to be made functional by the Commonwealth Games 2010. However, the deadline was missed. The parking place is to be constructed on an area of around 10,000 sq.m. The ground above the parking lot will be landscaped.
No human assistance
As per the plan, drivers will take a tunnel to drive into the lobby of the multi-level parking lot, where signs will guide them to leave the vehicle in one of 21 slots. On leaving the car, the driver will take the car keys and will automatically be issued a parking ticket. The parking system will assess the size and weight of the vehicle and assign it to a suitable parking slot. An automated system of travellators and special car-lifts will then transport the vehicle to the designated slot.
To retrieve the vehicle, the driver will access the ticket machine at the lobby. On reading the coupon, the computer will automatically identify the slot where it has been parked and transport the car back to the lobby.
