THIS refers to the charged parking system at Sukkur airport.

The collector parking takes the parking amount at the entrance to the airport either when you are going to drop  or to receive someone.

It means a vehicle which just enters the airport to drop someone and leaves within a few minutes also has to pay for the ticket as the one who parked his vehicle to receive someone.

At Karachi airport, there are two different routes for vehicles; one for arrival and the other for departure.

Those who go to the airport to drop someone go through the departure route and do not pay anything except taxi drivers who have to give a little bribe to traffic constables standing in the departure area.

The authorities concerned  should take action against those who are unjustly charging visitors coming just to drop someone.

The  contractor should also devise a system to charge only  those who actually park their vehicles.
