Supreme Court pulled up NHAI after a 12-hour traffic jam on Kerala’s NH-544, questioning toll charges for poor roads. CJI Gavai also said, “The city becomes paralysed if it rains for two hours.”
The Supreme Court today (20th Dec) upheld the Allahabad High Court’s 2016 ruling, barring the Noida Toll Bridge Company from collecting tolls on the DND flyway, citing sufficient recovery of costs. The delegation of toll collection was deemed unjust, with the Court criticizing financial practices and excessive toll collection since the road’s inception in 2001.
