Under the new policy, now any person in Chennai will have to provide proof of his parking system before purchasing a car. This parking space can be indoors or in a private property.

Regarding this policy, Cumta Secretary I Jayakumar said – “People often buy many vehicles, but they have limited parking space. This causes those vehicles to be erected on the streets, which causes traffic and people in the vicinity. ”
