More relief to the Punjabis from the loot of Toll Plazas

Chandigarh, Mar 30 (UNI) Sticking to his commitment to not let anyone loot the people of Punjab,Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann announced on Saturday that two toll plazas on the Ludhiana-Barnala state highway will be closed on April 2nd as their concession period is expiring.
The Dhaka-Halwara-Raikot-Barnala State Highway (SH-13) is a road with a length of 57.94 km, located in the Ludhiana district. To upgrade this road, the Punjab government approved the Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) scheme in 2007. Rohan Rajdeep Tollways Limited commenced operations under this scheme. According to the agreement, the concession period for this project is 17 years. As per the terms of the agreement, the concession period for this project expires on April 2, 2024, and at 12 p.m. that day, Toll Palaza Raqba (near Mullanpur, Distt. Ludhiana) and Toll Palaza Mehal Kalan (near Barnala) will cease their operations. After this, no tolls will be collected on this road from the general public, and maintenance will be the responsibility of the Punjab government.
Informing about the same through his Twitter (X), CM Mann said that the company, referring to the COVID period and farmer agitation, requested to increase the time of their toll operations for 448 days, but the Punjab government rejected that request. So both the toll plazas will cease their operations and will no longer collect any toll from the general public.
