PANAJI: Vehicles ferrying visitors to casinos will soon be moved to the multi-level parking complex at Patto, and will not be permitted to park in the city.
Tourists will be ferried to and from the multi-level parking complex in special coaches, it was jointly decided at a meeting chaired by the Corporation of the City of Panaji attended by casino operators, traffic police, transport department and tourism department.

It was also decided to have security stickers for all casino staff vehicles as well as for their own taxis that ferry their customers so that they are easily identifiable.
There will also be a valet system where private vehicles of visitors will also be parked at the multi-level complex.
“These decisions will be implemented within the next two weeks. We will conduct a review meeting next week,” CCP commissioner Shashank Tripathi said.
The stickers will be issued by the casino operators after they are approved by the CCP and the traffic cell. The casino operators will have to share a list of stickers issued to its staff. They will also have to decide whether to operate common coaches or have individual coaches.
The issue of relocating the casino-related vehicles was raised in the Panaji bypoll by Atanasio Monserrate after which the BJP too had to give a similar assurance. After he was elected as MLA, Monserrate met chief minister Pramod Sawant with the demand and got the ball rolling.
