<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s been like half decade that we are facing a big problem\nfor vehicle parking in Kathmandu. I still remember we used to park bike single\nlane at New Road and we used to pay 1 rupee. After the maoist insurgency the\nover flow of people all over Nepal to Kathamndu valley for safety made the\nvalley to grow very fast and un-systematically. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I want to point out the problem I am facing every single\nday. I own an Orthotics and Prosthetics clinic ORTHOPEDICA at Kopundole in my\nown house. It has been there for last 27 years. People did not have any problem\nreaching my office till few years back. But in recent time due to the unsystematic\nparking at Kumari Galli on the way to my house has created a huge problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have requested the Traffic Police, they give reason that\nthey don\u2019t have tow vehicle. They suggested me to put on the no parking board.\nI did that but no one cares about that board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I complain about it to my ward office. The officers from\nward said they have talked with traffic police and will solve the problem. I am\nwaiting for last 1 year for them to solve it. One of the members said that he\nhas ordered the no parking board and it\u2019s been 1 year and he gives me silly\nreason that the person whom he ordered has not finished it yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are few stories that came across when I raised my\nvoice against these un-systematic parking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.            One\nperson parked his car whole day blocking the way to my house. He said he\nthought it\u2019s a dead end and there is a way for a bike to pass. At this time, I\ncalled a traffic police and he did charge him with illegal parking and issued\nhim a ticket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.            There\nused to be a single line parking, after some time it became double parking. I\nsaw a person parking there and said him not to park there. He said my office is\njust above here. I said your office here does not mean you can park here\nblocking the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.            It was at\nnight I saw 2 cars side by side parking blocking my way. I waited for some time\nand the owner came, when I said you are blocking my way. And he said, “Oh\nI did not see that there is a right turn, I thought it was dead end.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.            Once I\ntried to shift the bike and it fell and his bike some plastic part got broke,\nhe came running and said he will call police and take action on me, I just told\nhim your bike was blocking my way and this is not a parking zone. Go call, I\nwill ask traffic police to take action on you. That guy went quietly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are just few examples and I face with them every\nsingle day. There is a guy who owns a restaurant and at night he put on a stall\nin front of Kumari Mandir from where the side road to my house start and it is\nalso a big problem.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This has been a long stand problem not just for me, but the residents living nearby, so who going to solve this problem?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
