GHAZIABAD: Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has written to the district administration highlighting encroachment and unauthorised parking outside the metro stations in Vaishali and Kaushambi.The complaint comes ahead of a meeting between the Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA) and DMRC on Thursday when the issue of parking is likely to be taken up.“The DMRC has recently sent a letter to the district magistrate over the issue of encroachment and unauthorised parking outside metro stations in Vaishali and Kaushambi. It complained that shops, three-wheelers and even beggars at the two metro station gates cause inconvenience to commuters daily,” said VN Singh, chief engineer at the GDA.“We have been directed to hold a meeting with DMRC officials on Thursday to find a solution to this problem,” he added.DMRC’s letter mentions the exact nature of the problem along with pictures to buttress the claim. At Vaishali metro station, the letter says, auto-rickshaws block the entry and exit gates, making it impossible for commuters to move freely. It has also sought a regular inspection by the traffic police to restore order.At Kaushambi station, DMRC has highlighted the menace of both unauthorised vendors at the entry and exit gates as well as the problem of beggars.Arvind Mishra, a metro commuter, said he gets stuck at the metro gate in Kaushambi almost every day. “There is so much rush at the station. Unauthorised parking and vendors make it all the worse. You can’t move without bumping against each other. Despite such a crowd, there are hardly any cops deployed there,” said Mishra. “Pickpockets have a field day here,” he added.Asked about the menace, SP (traffic) SN Singh said: “Four cops each are stationed at the two metro stations from 8am to 10pm, after which civil police takes over. But given the problem, it seems we will have to increase manpower at the metro station gates.”
