MARGAO
Road Transport Officers on Friday launched a crackdown on rent-a-bikes parked around the old fish market and Margao Municipal building, even as most of the rent-a-cars which had occupied the road sides across the city have made a sudden disappearance on Friday.
RTO officers led by Jimmy Rebello challaned around six rent-a-bikes which were found parked around the Margao Municipal building and the old fish market area. Each of the owners were fined around Rs 10,000 for the illegal parking of the rent-a-bikes on the city’s prime parking spaces.
The action comes a day after the Margao Municipal Chairperson Damu Shirodkar with senior RTO and police officials at the Margao Municipal building on Thursday following a complaint lodged by Margao Municipal councillor Mahesh Amonkar that rent-a-bikes and cars are illegally occupying prime parking space in the city.
What, however, has come as a big surprise to many a citizen was the sudden disappearance of rent-a-cars from the Comba ring road.
