Daijiworld Media Network – Bengaluru (RJP)

Bengaluru, Oct 20: The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) is considering designated parking for women on Church Street, it is revealed.

“It is difficult for women to find parking slots on such a busy road. We are planning to reserve parking for them, as also for the physically challenged,” Mayor Sampath Raj said on Thursday, October 20, after visiting Church Street.

“Officials will discuss the proposal with the traffic police and BBMP commissioner N Manjunath Prasad and will implement the idea,” he added.

The first phase of improvement of the road underway and second phase will start soon to end in December. The Rs 8-crore road improvement project provides underground ducts for all utilities, which means no digging when a repair is called for.

    The parking place for cars only not for people. There is no gender for cars. We do not call car as he or she. The question of parking place for female separately should not exist. We can not make separate road for female drivers, separate church, temple, house, burial place etc for female. Avoid thinking dividing India into two - keeping all male in the north and female in the south.

    Does BBMP live in a world of its own devoid of any reality or logic?

    Firstly, the mayor says that "it is difficult for women to find parking.....". Since when did men start finding easy parking spot in the same stretch of the road?

    Secondly, women (and men too) find it hard to find any parking spot in any busy road of Bangalore and not just Church street. So why not extend your 'mahila parking bhagya' to the whole of Bangalore?

    I sincerely hope that women's group themselves write a strongly worded letter to the Mayor and reject this idea.

    Not a good idea. reserve parking only for disabled people. Other than that all are equal. Now women are much ahead than men in education in our country. When the exam. results comes we always read "HENNU MAKKALA MAYLUGAI". Then why we need to reserve seats this and that all?

    Even in the Gulf there is no reservation in parking for women, if there is parking reserved for women then there will be more lady drivers on the road even if there is a man travelling with her. Because there is reservation in parking for women then the husband if travelling will ask the wife to drive so that they get reservation in parking. What are the criteria for women to park the cars? If women find it difficult in a busy road then how do they drive.
    It is OK for the physically challenged to get reservation in parking slots. There should be sticker on the car that a physically challenged person is driving.
