Himachal High Court suspends toll collection at Sanwara till Oct 20

Advocate Ganesh Barowalia, representing Monga, said, “The court took strict note of the bad condition of the National Highway, particularly at Chakki Mor. The bench, while directing it to stop toll collection at the plaza, asked the NHAI to file a status report on October 30. The detailed order is yet to be uploaded”.

Project Director, Kalka-Shimla National Highway, Anand Dhaiya said, “We are yet to receive a copy of order.”

During the previous hearing on August 28, the court had said, “It is a matter of concern that the road remained closed at Chakki Mor on more than three occasions in July and August, and traffic was reduced to one-way, causing long jams of 5 km on either side”.

The court had rapped the NHAI for its failure to properly maintain the highway and cautioned that the collection of toll at Sanwara plaza could be suspended if urgent corrective steps are not taken.
