The Ulhasnagar civic body has cracked down on a bogus pay-and-park facility.

Citizens who paid to park their two-wheelers at the facility were still issued e-challans for illegal parking. Over 125 two-wheeler owners, who have been using the facility outside Shahad railway station for years, are shocked that they have been allegedly scammed. They claimed the so-called pay-and-park facility had been operating for over 15 years before being exposed as illegal. A Shahad resident said she had been parking her two-wheeler outside the station for the past eight years. Some people even forked out a monthly sum, but a couple of days ago,  they started receiving fine notices! That’s when they began questioning the legitimacy of the facility.
