Vehicle owners were sent notices after HT highlighted the number of cars lying abandoned at the underground parking lot.

NEW DELHI: No revamp is in sight for the Asaf Ali Road underground parking lot near Delite Cinema, which has emerged as a den for vehicles parked for ages.

ADC (RP Cell) Ravideep Singh Chahar had written to the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) to find out whether any of these “abandoned” vehicles were involved in criminal cases or have been reported stolen. Respective vehicle owners were also notified.

“The transport department was given a list of 264 abandoned vehicles to ascertain their owners. It responded with a list of 193 vehicles along with the names of their owners. We had sent notices to the respective owners with a 15-day deadline to respond. None of them have responded,” a senior North body official told Hindustan Times, adding that the NCRB, too, is yet to reply and inform if any of these vehicles were stolen.

“The NCRB has been sent a reminder, too, but there is no response,” he said. These unclaimed vehicles take up almost 25% of the three levels of this underground parking lot, which can accommodate 1,400 vehicles.

The letter written to the NCRB states: “As per information given by the parking contractor and other concerned authority, a list of vehicles lying unclaimed in the parking site for so many years was sent to the Commissioner Transport Department of Delhi for giving details of registration of such vehicles…. The North Delhi Municipal Corporation wants to dispose of these unclaimed vehicles after issuance of notice to owners of these vehicles and with the consent of the Police.”
