FASTag isn’t easing congestion, thanks to low awareness: HC

CHENNAI: The introduction of FASTag hasn’t eased congestion at toll plazas, the Madras High Court observed on Thursday, and said the present system remains inaccessible to several road users owing to inadequate awareness.

The court made this observation on a plea seeking to restrain the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) from collecting toll from vehicles plying between Tambaram and Tindivanam at Paranur as the period of the concession agreement has expired.
