The government is launching exceptional projects to bridge different parts of India with smooth road connectivity. More and more new highways are coming up nationwide, enhancing travel experiences, reducing travel time, and helping save fuel money as well. Most of these new roads are equipped with toll tax installations and every traveller needs to pay charges to cross that area and move forward.
Though people are happy seeing improved roads and better connections across the nation, they are unhappy seeing the hike in toll charges.
