Haryana Wants No Toll Plazas In Gurgaon



Traveling from Gurgaon to Delhi was never one of the best journey experiences; reason being the toll gate that comes across every time we pass through the state border. Also, the long queue adds to the bitter experience.

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and the road transport ministry say that at present Haryana has no role to play in the out-of-court negotiation since the state government is not a party to the contract termination case. We have challenged it and the case is being heard by the Delhi high court.
The bankers for Gurgaon expressway are reworking their proposal to end the impasse on removal of the Delhi border toll plaza.  Haryana chief minister Shri Bhupinder Singh Hooda said that his government is for doing away with the two toll plazas in Gurgaon.

"Removing the first toll plaza and clubbing it with Kherki Dhaula won't bring complete relief to commuters. We are in favour of shifting the toll plaza beyond the city limit to Bilaspur. We had offered financial assistance in case both the toll points are done away with," Shri Hooda said.


I have been pushing the issue to remove the toll plaza for a long time for a seamless traffic flow. We are even ready to pay a certain amount for making the entire stretch toll-free. Seamless traffic flow will have huge impact on economic activities in the region, which is crucial for this area.
