Toll collection on national highways across the country has resumed on Monday amid the ongoing COVID-19 lockdown. This comes as India is slowly easing restrictions brought in to contain the coronavirus pandemic from today in order to revive stalled economic activities.
The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) had suspended toll collection on all national highways after the 21-day nationwide lockdown was announced on March 24.
“We are operating only 2 lanes (cash and tag lane). The toll booth operators are using masks and sanitisers,” said Deputy Toll Plaza Manager at Daffi Toll Plaza on National Highway 2 in Varanasi.
