Gogoi Seeks Toll Suspension in Assam, Citing Poor Road Conditions

Gogoi Seeks Toll Suspension in Assam, Citing Poor Road Conditions

Gaurav Gogoi, a politician from Assam, wants the government to stop collecting tolls on the state's highways.

He says the roads are in bad shape with potholes and uneven surfaces, making travel dangerous and slow.

People are also upset about the rising costs of tolls, especially during times of floods and unemployment.

Gogoi is using a recent court decision from another state as a reference.

This case said that people shouldn't have to pay to use roads that are in bad condition.

Gogoi is asking the government to fix the roads before collecting tolls again.
