No toll collection on Delhi-Gurgaon expressway till Sept 28

The free ride for private vehicles through the Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway has now been extended till September 28.

The Punjab and Haryana High Court on Tuesday ordered Delhi Gurgaon Super Connectivity Limited (DGSCL), the concessionaire of the Delhi-Gurgaon toll plaza, to maintain the status quo on charging the toll till further orders, and adjourned the hearing of the case till September 28.

The case, taken up by Chief Justice A. K. Sikri, was referred to another bench. It is likely to be put up before the special bench headed by Justice Jasbir Singh who had been hearing the case earlier.

The former Chief Justice Mukul Mudgal, who was appointed by the court to inspect the toll plaza, also submitted his report but could not be taken up for hearing as the case was adjourned till then.

Mudgal, in his detailed report, suggested that the road from Udyog Vihar must be widened to decongest the area as the land along the road belongs to the government and is lying unutilised.

An alternate route to Ambience Mall, residential areas and Leela Kempenski Hotel to reduce congestion at the toll plaza is also recommended.
