According to the organisation, passengers have complained that vehicles arriving to drop or pick up travellers at Platforms 1, 4 and 5 are being charged in violation of Railway Ministry rules. The rules permit a limited free pick-and-drop period, but the facility is reportedly not being followed at the station.
The organisation stated that drivers are not being issued parking receipts and information regarding the free time limit is not displayed at parking entry points. Due to the alleged illegal collection, several drivers stop vehicles outside the station premises to avoid charges, leading to traffic congestion on surrounding roads.
The memorandum demanded mandatory issuance of receipts for every two-wheeler and four-wheeler entering the parking area. It also called for clear mention of the free time limit on receipts and installation of notice boards informing passengers of their rights.
Present during the submission were P D G Mishra, Ajay Raghuvanshi, Vinod Thakur, Saurabh Tripathi, Abhisht Mishra, Arun Pandey, Mayur Singh Parihar and Snehil Verma. The memorandum was submitted by Manoj Panwar.
