NHAI's Plan to Toll Parallel Routes: Unfair to Commuters?

NHAI's Plan to Toll Parallel Routes: Unfair to Commuters?

Imagine the government is building new toll roads, and wants companies to build them.

To make it easier for the companies to make money, the government is thinking about letting them charge tolls on roads that run alongside the new ones.

This would make it harder to avoid paying tolls.

This plan could make things more expensive for people who use the roads, especially those who don't have a lot of money, like farmers or small businesses.

It might also mean that the companies don't have to try as hard to make the new roads good.

Some people think it's unfair because it puts the risk on the drivers and might even break some laws.
