Traders in Saddar have urged the federal government to make adequate parking space mandatory before approving new commercial plazas in Rawalpindi Cantonment. However, traders say the available facilities are not enough to meet the demand generated by the large number of shops, commercial plazas and visitors in the area. He added that despite the shortage, new commercial plazas continue to receive construction approvals without adequate parking arrangements. The traders’ association has demanded that no new commercial shops or plaza building plans be approved until the RCB and the federal government either allocate sufficient land for public parking or construct modern parking plazas. Traders have also called for parking facilities along the pedestrian stretch from Cantonment Police Station Road to Murree Road.
