Toll Collected Despite Incomplete Rajkot–Jetpur Highway

Motorists travelling on the Rajkot–Jetpur highway are allegedly being charged toll even though the six-lane highway project remains incomplete. Several stretches are still under construction, with unfinished bridges, diversions and roadwork continuing across the corridor.

Diversions, Unfinished Bridges Add to Commuters' Woes

The ongoing construction has forced vehicles to use temporary diversions at multiple locations. Commuters have complained of longer travel times, poor road conditions and safety concerns, while the incomplete infrastructure continues to inconvenience daily travellers.

Questions Raised Over Legality of Toll Recovery

The toll collection has triggered questions over whether users can be charged before the highway is fully completed and operational. Critics argue that motorists are paying for infrastructure and services that have not yet been delivered, prompting demands for a review of the concessionaire's toll collection practices.

Representation Seeks Probe Into Alleged Illegal Toll Collection

The issue has been raised before the Gujarat government through a representation to Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel by Patan MLA Kirit Patel, seeking an immediate investigation into the toll collection process and urging authorities to suspend toll recovery until the highway is completed and made fully operational.
