Authorities have started penalising vehicles that occupy parking spaces reserved for persons with disabilities without proper authorization.
The government announced that fines will now be levied on motorists who park in spaces earmarked for persons with disabilities without a valid permit. Enforcement officials are instructed to issue penalties at the point of violation, aiming to protect the accessibility of these designated spots. The move seeks to deter misuse and ensure that disabled commuters can find parking close to their destinations. Drivers found violating the rule will be required to pay the prescribed fine before leaving the site, according to the new directive.
