Four-wheeler drivers passing through Ladowal Toll Plaza, one of the most expensive toll plazas in Punjab, are going to be burdened once again. Preparations have been made to increase the toll rates once again, in which there will be an increase of up to five percent.
The new rates will come into effect after 12 o’clock on the night of March 31. The surprising thing is that the government is preparing to burden the pockets of the people for the second time in the year. People are very angry with this decision of the toll plaza company. People say that the rates have been increased for the second time in the year, which will cause them a lot of trouble. More money is being spent on toll than buying vehicles.
Ranchod Infra Developer Private Limited Company got the contract in December 2024. The company has a contract from Panipat to Ladowal. Earlier, Sahakar Global Limited had the contract. Now the new company has increased the rates by 5% on the orders of the National Highways Authority of India. Company manager Vipin Kumar said that the rates have been increased on the orders of the National Highways Authority of India. The rates will be applicable from April 1. He said that he does not know when the rates were increased earlier. The company got the contract in December. Now the rates have been increased as per the rules.
