SDMC mayor opens toll booths at DND flyway

New Delhi: The SDMC toll booths at 'DND flyway' has been shifted on Tuesday evening. Four booths have been given on the left corner of the road to collect MCD tax. The move is expected to ease traffic in the peak hours.

SDMC Mayor Kamaljeet Sehrawat inaugurated the booths allotted by Noida Authority to SDMC at DND Flyover Toll Plaza. The booths have been allotted to SDMC after request.

"I had sent a request to Noida authority keeping in view the problems coming in the collection of toll tax from commercial vehicles entering Delhi. Last month, I had visited temporary toll booths set up by SDMC to assess the quantum of difficulties," said the Mayor.

It may be recalled that immediately after abolition of toll tax at DND flyover toll plaza, SDMC started collecting toll tax from commercial vehicles at temporary toll booths setup by SDMC a few meters away from the toll plaza. The temporary setup was lacking lanes; hence the collection was becoming difficult.

The Mayor expressed confidence that the new arrangement will facilitate smooth collection of toll tax from commercial vehicles entering Delhi and help in overcoming difficulties.
