Nitin Gadkari: All toll plazas in the country will be removed within a year, Gadkari announces in Lok Sabha

New Delhi: Union Transport and Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari has announced in the Lok Sabha that the toll collection system will be abolished within a year after full implementation of fast tags across the country. At the same time, we will provide free GPS facility in old vehicles, he said. Gadkari also briefed the House on some of the ongoing highways in the country.

Amroha BSP MP Kunwar Danish Ali raised the issue of toll plaza in the municipal area on the road near Garhmukteshwar. On top of this, many such toll plazas have been built on the city limits to add more ‘me’ to the road project contracts in the previous government. This is definitely wrong and unjust, ‘Union Minister Nitin Gadkari replied in the Lok Sabha. “If the toll plaza is removed now, the road construction companies will demand compensation. However, the government has made a plan to abolish all tolls in one year, ‘Gadkari said.

At the same time, the central government is working on a plan to close all toll plazas in the coming year. In the future, citizens will have to pay as much toll as they can walk on the road with the help of technology, Nitin Gadkari also announced in the House.
