CHANDIGARH: Nearly three months after the Chandigarh MC House scrapped the 'Smart Parking' project, mayor Harpreet Kaur Babla is set to call an all-councillor meeting to run past the project's revised blueprint before tabling it in the General House on June 27.

The mayor said the parking committee, headed by councillor Saurabh Joshi, has already finalised the terms and conditions of the project, and included it in the request for proposal (RFP).

"But before we take it to the House, we want all councillors to give their feedback and suggestions so that it can be added in the final draft. We will call the all-councillor meet on Tuesday or Wednesday," said Babla.

Officials said the revamped project will have a vehicle-stay tracking system, 'pink parking zones' for women, internet connectivity for real-time parking management, option of pre-booking paid parking slots, and pre-paid parking cards.
