Don't pay toll on Mum-Pune Expressway today: MNS

July 24, 2012 13:46

Just in: MNS workers have shut down toll plazas on the the Mumbai-Pune Expressway urging citizens not to pay toll. MNS party workers have been forcing vehicles to ply without paying the toll (Rs 165 for cars), today. The MNS has also begun agitations at the Thane and Vashi toll plazas.
The party has been agitating against toll taxes for a while, saying on the basis of a survey it had conducted, the cost of the project has been recovered a long time ago and there is no need for citizens to pay toll any more.
This is one agitation that should get complete support from citizens.
