Nagpur: Toll operations at four plazas on the Nagpur-Mumbai Samruddhi Expressway have come to a standstill as nearly 200 employees went on strike, leading to disruptions in FASTag scanning. As a result, commuters are being charged extra toll fees.
The strike, ongoing for the past four days, has halted the automated FASTag scanning process, which deducts toll charges directly from vehicle owners’ bank accounts. Without scanning, vehicles are either passing through without deductions or being charged additional toll fees manually.

Many commuters, particularly those traveling from Mumbai to Nagpur, have reported being charged up to four times the usual toll. A similar situation is being observed at the Sambhajinagar toll plaza.
The striking employees are demanding salary hikes and the implementation of service rules similar to those for government employees. Until their demands are met, commuters may continue to face toll-related issues on the expressway.
