Noida: Commercial cars passing from Noida to Delhi have been allegedly evading paying toll at the DND Flyway ever because the cubicles were shifted two weeks ago.
Four new counters for amassing toll have been put on four lanes opposite the DND flyway administrative center. While maximum taxi drivers claimed they were unaware of the brand new cubicles, officials of a personal corporate assigned to gather toll mentioned the cabbies were intentionally opting for the lanes intended for normal commuters to keep away from the four lanes devoted to gather the associated fee.
A representative of MEP Infra, which has been appointed the contractor by SDMC for amassing toll and setting repayment charge, advised TOI that there have been some who did not know in regards to the four devoted lanes however many that were evading paying tax to the agency.
"Our flying teams are stopping the commercial vehicles with yellow number plates and asking them to pay the toll and then proceed," he mentioned.
On Sunday and Monday, too, a bunch of the toll corporate's officials may well be seen signalling the cabbies to keep against the toll cubicles on the left.
The taxi operators, on the other hand, claimed that even though the members of the flying squads have been charging them Rs 200 each as penalty for now not paying toll, they had now not been issuing any receipt.
"I was travelling to Delhi from Noida to pick up a customer from the India Habitat Centre. There was no one to signal or guide me towards the toll booth and I did not know that the booths had been shifted. I was stopped a few metres ahead and Rs 200 was taken from me in the name of penalty. But the officials did not issue any receipt. On the contrary, they used foul language," mentioned Bunty Sharma, a motive force with a personal cab carrier.
On Sunday, many such drivers were caught by the toll corporate's "flying squad", he mentioned.
Nitin Mahajan, the in-charge of the toll cubicles at DND, mentioned many drivers have been intentionally evading the toll. "It has been 10 days already (since the booths were shifted). But they are trying to evade paying Rs.100. We are issuing a receipt for the same," he mentioned.
Asked by this paper for the receipts, he refused to turn them.
Sandeep Kumar, the additional deputy commissioner of SDMC, mentioned they might glance into the court cases of the taxi operators if they got in writing.
"The toll company officials have said that the lower-rung staff might be indulging in this practice. We have a clause for collection of Rs 500 as penalty from cabbies trying to evade toll," he mentioned.
