On Friday, an illegal parking operation was dismantled in Sector 18, Gurugram, as part of a cooperative effort between the chief minister flying squad and the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA).

Officials apprehended operator Rakesh Rana, who was reportedly charging Rs 80 per vehicle to use the unauthorized space, and seized Rs 2,930 along with parking slips.

The illegal activity was highlighted by GMDA's Junior Engineer Ashish Tyagi, prompting a raid that confirmed the misuse of the green belt for parking purposes without appropriate documentation, prompting legal action.
