The multi-storey parking has been designed to accommodate 206 cars and 190 two-wheelers. The structure is estimated to be built at a cost of Rs 54 crore, Jagran.com reported.

The original deadline for completing the construction of the parking was set for December 31, 2021. However, the project faced delays and the deadline was extended due to Covid-19 pandemic and a temporary construction ban imposed by the National Green Tribunal (NGT).

A new deadline was set for March 31, 2023, but the construction remained incomplete. Another deadline was set for March 31, 2024, but further delays occurred due to the pending relocation of electric transformers and trees from the construction site.
