MARGAO: Konkan Railways has terminated the contract of the Margao Railway Station pay parking contractor after he failed to pay prescribed quarterly licence fee of Rs 27 lakh on time.
Deputy Manager of Konkan Railways Baban Ghatge informed that Konkan railways is in the process of appointing temporary contractors on monthly basis while tender for new contractor will be floated shortly.
But Ghatge also mentioned that temporary arrangements have been made for the collection of pay parking fees. Until the new contractor is hired, this would happen once a month.
The PRO went on to say that the pay-parking contract is currently being bid on by KTC, and he anticipates that these procedures will be concluded shortly. The tender has already been opened, he continued.
Recall that since its introduction, the KRC pay-parking system—a relatively new addition to the Margao station—has been beset with issues.
