BENGALURU: The multi-level parking lot at Freedom Park that took six years to build has been waiting for three months now to be commissioned. Reason: three tenders called by Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) to run the facility hasn’t elicited any response.
“Three tenders have been called since November, but not one bidder has come forward. The common fear is the facility might not generate adequate revenue given that citizens park for free in areas surrounding it. Subsequently, we held a meeting with police officers to ensure no-parking signs are installed in the facility’s vicinity. The idea behind this parking lot is to decongest commercial areas,” said M Lokesh, chief engineer, BBMP.
