Summary:
If the state government has its way, you may not have to pay toll at Mulund toll naka for some time. "There is no provision in the agreement with the contractor to stop toll collection for a temporary period," a senior MSRDC official said, adding "But if there is such demand and toll collection is stopped, the MSRDC will have to compensate the contractor." The Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) has asked the State whether toll collection can be suspended temporarily at the toll naka on the Eastern Expressway as the Mumbra bypass is shut for repairs. The MSRDC official added that the demand has been referred to the state government that will take the final decision. "If government and agencies think waiving or stopping toll collection will solve traffic snarls, it shut all toll nakas right away and compensate contractors," said Owais Mirza, a daily commuter..
