KOLKATA: The city will get exclusive parking slots that are reserved for electric cars this June. In 12 parking lots on roads like Rabindra Sarani, Chittaranjan Avenue, AJC Bose Road, Rafi Ahmed Kidwai Road, CIT Road (Park Circus), Kyd Street, Rabindra Sarobar and Paharpur Road (Garden Reach), at least 24 slots will be reserved for EVs.
