Road transport and highways minister Nitin Gadkari said on Tuesday that there should be no toll plaza within 60 km on national highways and he will ensure the norms are fully implemented in the next three months.
“I will ensure that there will be only one toll plaza within 60 km and if there’s a second toll plaza, then it will be shut in the next three months,” he said, in a discussion in the Lok Sabha on the demands for grants pertaining to his ministry.
People residing near the toll plazas will be able to get passes with the use of an Aadhar card, he said referring to the points raised by members.
“Work on Delhi-Amritsar-Katra highway work has begun. By end of this year, we’ll be able to reach Mumbai from Srinagar in 20 hours and the distance between Delhi and Amritsar will be covered in four hours,” he added.
