Gurgoan
(I-Haryana News): The Punjab and Haryana High Court on Tuesday directed
not to charge toll fee from vehicles passing through the Delhi-Gurgoan
expressway toll plaza in Gurgoan.
A
division bench comprising Justice Jasbir Singh and Justice Rakesh Kumar
directed expressway concessionaire Delhi-Gurgaon Super Connectivity Ltd
(DGSCL) not to charge toll for next 15 days starting midnight Tuesday
on Public Interest Litigation regarding the frequent traffic scowls at
the Delhi-Gurgaon expressway toll plaza.
The
bench expressed its displeasure at the concessionaire not being able to
control traffic jams at the busy toll plaza.
The
court directed the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) to
convene a meeting with the concessionaire and the Haryana government to
find a permanent solution to the traffic jams at the toll plaza.
The court pointed out that the differences between the three sides were leading to unnecessary harassment of commuters.
The
toll plaza sees long queues of cars and other vehicles, causing traffic
jams, throughout the day. Commuters on the Delhi-Gurgaon highway have
been facing a harrowing time due to the snarls.
The high court directed the Haryana government to provide adequate security at the toll plaza for the next 15 days.
Counsel
for the concessionaire argued that the state authorities and the NHAI
were not cooperating in finding a solution to the traffic problem,
leading to chaos at the toll plaza. However, the court did not find
favour with the argument.
The court fixed next date of the case on September 20, 2012.
