Wastage of Time-Fuel-Money at Dahisar Tollnaka

The daily traffic jam that takes place at Dahisar Tollnaka is proving to be a waste of time – money – fuel. Many political leaders have made several attempts to get rid of this tollnaka but still there’s no end solution to the chaotic traffic problem at Dahisar Tollnaka. The vehicle owners who face this problem daily complain of the high amount of fuel that gets wasted in this traffic jam.

These drivers feel stressed as the rising price of petrol-diesel-CNG has already burnt a hole in their pockets, they are losing so much fuel at Dahisar Toll Naka. Please note that former MLA Narendra Mehta, former Congress MLC Muzaffar Hussain and current MLA Geeta Jain, all have claimed that they would get rid of this tollnaka. Two legislation have come and gone but the Dahisar tollnaka is here to stay. The tollnaka is causing great inconvenience to the people using this route on a daily basis.  

Despite the considerable loss of fuel, the drivers pay the toll fees, but on the other hand, this tollnaka is toll-free for public representatives. Common people feel betrayed in this scenario as there is no one to listen to their woes. Even the MNS who did a protest against this issue have gone silent on this matter as well.

There is a long queue of vehicles regularly at Dahisar Tollnaka inspite of being fitted with FASTag. Money gets deducted automatically through FASTag but still, there seems to be a long line of vehicles daily causing terrible traffic jams. The residents of Mira-Bhayander state that irrespective of whether they are exempted from toll tax or not, they just want relief from the traffic jam at Dahisar tollnaka.
