on 11 Apr 2015 , Hon. CM Shri Devndra Fadnavis specifically said that they have shut down with 12 booths completely and my Recent RTI reveals that only 3 are completely shut down. Its been almost a year and no official list is shared with any of media or any of govt dept. Even concern PWD dept also have name of 3 toll booths. Then Which 9 toll booths are close down by Current State Govt?
Another interesting fact is even CM. Fadnavis announced that after 31st may 2015, private vehicles like cars and jeeps and state transport buses will be exempted from paying tolls in 53 other booths. but there is no exemption is provided for the same.
There is no official list is shared with any media. And those 9 Toll booths are still taking toll from common-man & remaining 53 toll booths are charging toll as per their contract with state govt. In short, No toll booths are shut. All toll booths are collecting toll from govt. buses & Private vehicles.
Please check this Video:
