He was also apprised about several other problems being faced by the residents, including the menace of stray dogs at places in the city.

Talking about parking problems in the district, MLA Pankaj Singh said no parking mafia should be allowed in the city and directed the district magistrate to get the issue resolved by coordinated efforts of the authority and the police.
