The ongoing farmers’ agitation that has made passage through toll plazas free for commuters has caused losses to National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) and the toll collection companies. The farmers’ protest has been going on at the toll plazas since December 25, 2020.
As per sources, NHAI and toll companies in Karnal district alone have suffered a loss of around Rs 100 crore in the past five months and the protest is still going on.
In Karnal, farmers have been staging dharna at Bastara toll plaza on NH-44 and Peont toll plaza on NH-709A. They are not allowing the companies to collect toll.
