Mumbai police commissioner Sanjay Pandey on Saturday posted on Twitter that the police force had plans to stop towing of vehicles across Mumbai and that the decision will be tested in the city on an experimental basis. Parking is a serious issue in city which often leads to altercations between cops and motorists.
Tweeting about the decision, Commissioner Sanjay Pandey wrote, “Dear Mumbaikars, I am overwhelmed with your response. As a first, we plan to stop towing of vehicles. Experimental to start with and final, if you comply. Let me know what you think,” Pandey tweeted on Saturday, referring to the response that he received to his call for suggestions for better functioning of the Mumbai police force.
Responding to his tweet, some citizens suggested that if the traffic police in Mumbai does not allow any cars to be parked on main roads, most of the illegal parking scams will end.
