    DEHRADUN: The police in Uttarakhand have decided to try the “OYO app booking style” parking to get rid of traffic congestion.

    Speaking to The New Indian Express about the scheme devised by Director General of Police Ashok Kumar, Superintendent of Police (Traffic) Akshay Konde explained that vehicle owners no longer have to worry about whether they get a parking place.
