India, Aug. 27 -- A food court near the busy Nal Stop station of Pune Metro has raised eyebrows of the daily commuters, with many curious to know why it was prioritised over a much-needed parking space for two-wheelers and cars.

Residents of the areas around the station complain that the absence of proper parking is choking nearby internal lanes, with vehicles haphazardly parked on both sides. The situation has not only inconvenienced commuters but has also sparked a debate on why essential commuter infrastructure is being overlooked in favour of commercial activities.

Following complaints, the food court had been demolished by authorities in the past, but the stalls were back at the same place in no time.
