New Delhi. The free journey running for about 10 months on Delhi Meerut Expressway is going to end. The drivers passing through this will have to pay the toll. The Ministry of Road Transport has already given permission for toll.
After February 10, toll can be started from vehicles at any time. NHAI (National Highway Authority of India) has given indications to the toll collecting company. After the imposition of toll, the journey of the drivers will become expensive for those coming to Delhi from Meerut.
The Delhi Meerut Expressway has been opened for vehicles only last year but the construction of Chipiyana ROB in Ghaziabad was going on, due to which there was a traffic jam. Till now toll was not being collected due to technical reasons. Now the construction of ROB is almost complete. According to the officials of NHAI, the ROB will be completely ready by February 10. As soon as it is ready, the company will not incur any loss and will start collecting toll with immediate effect. Because the Ministry of Road Transport has already given permission to collect toll.
