Mangalore, Feb 18 (DHNS) : Just like the way Mangalore City is growing, the traffic is also on the rise.

Majority of the places in the city suffer from parking spaces. Lack of parking spaces in commercial complexes have added to the problem.
It has been decided to introduce paid parking system in those roads which have been completed in the city. Some of the areas will be made as no parking zones.
