PUNE Despite the announcement of suspension of toll at Khed-Shivapur on Satara road by Union minister for road transport and highways Nitin Gadkari during his visit to Pune on Friday, the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) clarified that citizens will not get any such concession as the contractor will be replaced by the authority itself.
NHAI general manager and project director Suhas Chitnis cleared the air and said, “What Gadkari said was that instead of the contractor, NHAI will collect toll from vehicles till the costs incurred are recovered. Citizens will not get any waiver. We will soon complete the administrative process to handover the toll collection to NHAI.”
