A Nagpur-based firm, Vidarbha Infotech Private Limited, has already been awarded the contract, an official in the know said.A senior official of the traffic department of Pimpri Chinchwad police said that the traffic police were taking action against vehicles found parked in no-parking zones with drivers present inside. “However, due to absence of towing vans, there was no provision to haul vehicles, with no drivers ,parked in no-parking areas,” he said. “Imposing an online fine cannot solve the traffic congestion caused by vehicles parked in no-parking zones. The vehicle has to be removed from road but due to absence of towing vans, the traffic police were also helpless,” he said.“We have already declared many places across the city no-parking zones but due to absence of towing vans, we were facing difficulties in implementing our orders. However, now that we will soon have our own towing vans, we can clear vehicles parked in no-parking areas,” Vishal Gaikwad, DCP traffic, Pimpri Chinchwad police, said.
