Claim: The government is giving Rs. 500 for sending photographs of wrongly parked vehicles.
Fact-check: This viral video shows comments made by Gadkari in jest; The Government is not giving Rs. 500 for sending photographs of wrongly parked vehicles - FACTLY
Verdict: there are no reports about the government offering rs. 500 for submitting photographs of wrongly parked vehicles. this viral video shows comments made by gadkari in jest during the inauguration ceremony of the industrial decarbonization summit 2022 on 16 july 2022. after highlighting the context that wrong parking is a significant menace, gadkari humorously stated, "i am going to bring a law under which a person sending a photograph of a wrongly parked vehicle will get rs 500 if the total fine works out to be rs 1,000. then the problem of parking will be solved." however, the minister's comment is not supported by any legislative or legal framework as yet. the government has not made any rules concerning this. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
