The Coimbatore Bar Association (CBA) has introduced a QR code-based vehicle parking system to streamline parking on the combined court complex premises and outside. CBA took the initiative with the support of the Coimbatore City Police as parking space inside the court complex premises continued to remain inadequate for around 4,000 lawyers.
To meet the parking requirement, CBA sought the police to permit them to park their vehicles outside the compound wall, covering a side of Government Arts College Road and Red Cross junction roundabout. While accepting the request, the police wanted CBA to ensure that only lawyers park their vehicles in these places.
CBA representatives said the QR code stickers given to members will be pasted on their vehicles. Details of the vehicle owner can be seen when the QR code is scanned with mobile phone camera active internet. This will help the police and CBA find whether outsiders park their vehicles in the allotted space.
Coimbatore City Police Commissioner V. Balakrishnan, First Additional District Judge S. Sashirekha, Chief Judicial Magistrate C. Rajalingom and Presiding Officer for Additional Labour Court K. Arunachalam and CBA members were present at the launch of the QR code system.
