Noida: The first day of the use of a mandatory foundation at Yamuna Expressway witnessed the chaos on the three toll plazas which fell between Greater Noida and Agra.
Apparently caught by the guard, many commuters sipped the Express Concession Office in three plazas in a high-speed corridor of 165 km to buy their cottage to avoid paying a decent penalty.
Some commuters even pay twice the amount of cash to pass.
However, officials of private concession holders said that some public notifications have been issued in the past, with the latest creatures on Sundays.
Santosh pawar, GM (operation) in Jaypee Infratech Ltd, concession holder, said, “This is not a new order and has been implemented on several highways and freeways.
This order came into force on the Yamuna toll road on Monday, and many commuters were asked Pay extra amount.
“Until Sunday, commuting without a foundation is only charged a fixed amount.
The Fastag system began in June last year with only two lines on each side, now all eight lines have this facility.
The need for more paths is felt for a while with traffic congestion reported from the three toll-jewar plazas, Mathura and Agra – during rush hour morning and night, which leads to 20-25 minutes waiting time.
The agreement in this case was signed by Jaypee Infratech Ltd and the IDBI Bank.
