No tollgate payments will be collected till 18th November.Following the recent government announcement that Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000 currency notes to be invalid, there was a huge shortage of change, especially in the tollgates in the National Highways.
This led to long waits for the drivers/vehicles passing through the tollgates. To counter this problem, the central government announced that tollgate fares will be withdrawn till the situation regarding change improves.
Earlier, it was announced that there will be no tollgate payments till 14th November. With this arrangement about to expire by midnight (Monday, 14th November), the central government has announced that this would be extended by another 3 days. So, there would be no tollgate payment till 18th November.
