Chittoor: A fake contractor occupied the municipal vacant site adjacent to Gandhi statue without the knowledge of the Mayor and Municipal Commissioner, according to sources. The fake contractor has been doing business by showing the site as a car parking lot. He has engaged some persons for collecting R 30 per four-wheeler and issuing receipts.
It is learnt that he earns more than Rs 2,000 per day. The owners or drivers, who park their four wheelers, assume that it is an official car parking lot. It may be recalled that one Sridhar, a contractor, had run a car parking lot earlier here. As the Chittoor Municipal Corporation has decided to construct a Statue Island in the place of the car parking lot, Sridhar’s contract was cancelled long ago.
On learning that the contract of Sridhar was cancelled, a fake contractor has occupied the vacant place and started using it as a car parking lot. Mayor Subramanyam and Commissioner Balasubramanyam reportedly kept mum despite knowing about the illegal parking lot.
When asked about the illegal parking lot, an official spokesperson of Chittoor Municipal Corporation said they did not allot the site to anybody to run a parking lot. Hence, it was proved that the fake contractor was running the car parking lot at the behest of a ruling TDP leader.
Chittoor MLA Satya Prabha said that she is unaware of the fraudulent case. Speaking to The Hans India, Mayor Subramanyam confirmed that nobody was given contract as the municipal vacant site was earmarked for constructing the Statue Island.
He admitted that he was not aware of the site was being used as the parking lot and nobody complained about it. He reiterated that Chittoor Municipal Corporation has already decided to construct the Statue Island soon in that place. Hence, there is no question of according permission to run the car parking lot, he said.
