In what comes as good news for commuters, the government is working on providing relief from the toll levied on the National Highway (NH). According to a report, the Ministry of Road Transport has proposed to reduce the toll by half while expanding the 10-meter-wide, two-lane national highway into a four-lane highway. It means that there will be a 50 per cent discount on the current toll. The ministry has come up with this proposal because during construction work on highways, passengers face difficulty and don’t get better service due to a decrease in the width of the NH during construction. Currently, 60 per cent of the normal toll is charged on such two-lane NHs, even if there is no construction work being done on them.
