first step towards solving the problem. An innovative
initiative for the better parking facility in the city of

This will reduce the unauthorized parking
problem as well as parking chaos during peak hours. A
meeting for this was organized in the conference hall of
BMC for seeking opportunities for construction of
multi-level parking in Bhubaneswar. The parking
system will be made through PPP mode, where users
have to give parking fee on nominal basis. In few space a
lot of cars can be parked in a parking place which will
save space of the city. Also the automatic system will
save time and give solution for traffic problem.
