Farmers’ protests led to a loss of Rs 2,731.32 crore in toll revenue since October 2020, with Haryana suffering the most, Minister of Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari informed Parliament on Wednesday.
“Initially, toll plazas in Punjab were made non-operational by the agitating farmers in October 2020. This spread to the neighbouring states of Haryana and Rajasthan,” the minister said in reply to a question by MP Anil Agarwal as to how much toll revenue loss the agitation caused to the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI).
