particular parking space for the commercial vehicles to avoid any eventuality
as the road is very congested creating troubles for the passerby especially to
the school going children,. He said that some drivers violate the order and
park their vehicles in the middle of the road due to which the SHO Ramsoo
seized some vehicles.
