Pune parking lots face security, illegal activity issues

Gambling and illegal activities are occurring in Pune Municipal Corporation-run parking lots, raising serious security concerns for commuters. Activists report threats and misbehavior towards women, with allegations of a nexus between politicians, officials, and contractors facilitating these issues. A recent incident led to an FIR against 33 individuals, including a suspended police constable. The PMC states security is the operator's responsibility and will issue a show-cause notice. Commuters also complain about exorbitant fees, lack of facilities, and the overall mismanagement of these parking spaces.
