Union Minister for Road Transport & Highways, Nitin Gadkari slammed a few media houses for spreading false news of imposing toll tax on two-wheeler vehicles. He said the media houses should not spread misleading news.

Gadkari said, “Some media houses are spreading misleading news about imposing a toll tax on two-wheeler vehicles. No such decision has been proposed. The exemption on toll for two-wheeler vehicles will continue fully. Spreading misleading news without verifying the truth to create a sensation is not a sign of healthy journalism. I condemn this.”

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) also rubbished the report, stating that no such proposal is under consideration. The NHAI posted on X, “Some sections of the media have reported that the Government of India plans to levy user fees on two-wheelers. #NHAI would like to clarify that no such proposal is under consideration. There are no plans to introduce toll charges for two-wheelers.”
