Tyranny of parking charges

The parking in Jabalpur is a harrowing experience.The city is full of unofficial paid nee extortion parking.You never know who has appointed the goon asking for the money ,what is the rate and for what period, is there any grievance redress system?Around High Court building entire road has been claimed as a paid parking lot.Even if u park beyond the defined area of entry gate ,the goon posted there misbehaves and almost takes  Rs.10 out of your pocket.There is no sign that says that this is a paid parking auctioned by any authority .The goon posted at the Bar council gate supervised by two policeman collects money from cars and other vehicles from BSNL and to other end of the Court building.This is amazing as it is happening in front of the temple of justice.There has to be a citizen's organized movement to oppose such tyranny.The citizens of Jabalpur should organize to oppose this gundagardi everywhere in the city.Those who agree with me and have had similar experiences are invited to pledge their support to this forum.
