ARO suspended for pay and park fiasco
Bangalore, dhns:
The Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) on Monday night decided to suspend Assistant Revenue Officer Jagdeesh over his alleged involvement in the pay-and-park fiasco.

BBMP Commissioner Bharat Lal Meena has confirmed the move.

Meanwhile, Additional Commissioner (East) S Puttuswamy said the letter, requesting action against the illegal collection of fee by the deputy commissioner of police (East), traffic, was sent on Monday morning, as the letter was held back by the BBMP on Saturday.

The “pay-and-park” episode began on January 2 morning after an “unauthorised” order was passed by the BBMP to collect fee on 11 roads in Bangalore. The order was withdrawn on the same night after it was found that the collection was illegal.
