CHANDIGARH - The Haryana government Wednesday directed all deputy commissioners, administrators of Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA) and commissioners of municipal corporations in the state to ensure regulated parking in the busy markets, bus stands, railway stations and places of high footfalls in their jurisdiction.
