NEW DELHI: The National Highways Authority of India NHAI ) will challenge the Madras High Court order, which directed the authority to provide separate lane at each toll plaza for VIPs including the sitting judges so that they won’t have to wait in queue.Sources said the highways authority would cite how it’s impossible to implement the order. They added earmarking a lane for VIPs would also not go down well with people and the particular lane would be hugely underutilised. Officials said the solution to traffic congestion at toll plazas lie in equipping all toll lanes that can use electronic tags, 100% coverage of RFID FasTags in all vehicles and earmarking dedicated lanes only for vehicles with tags.The Madras HC, in its order, has warned of issuing a show cause notice to authorities unless a circular was issued to keep dedicated lanes for VIPs and any violation would be viewed seriously. It had observed that vehicles of VIPs and sitting judges are stopped at toll plazas and they are compelled to wait in the toll plaza for 10 to 15 minutes.During the last review meeting of infrastructure sectors, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has set the April 2019 deadline for complete coverage of RFID tags and enabling all lanes to process tagged vehicles. Moreover, he has asked the transport ministry to come out with a scheme to provide free RFID FasTags for vehicles of dignitaries who are exempted from paying toll by October.TOI on August 7 had first reported the government move to provide “zero transaction tags” for authorised vehicles attached to the exempted category of persons.Currently, vehicles transporting and officially accompanying the 25 dignitaries including President, Prime Minister, chief justices and judges of Supreme Court and high courts, Union ministers, chief ministers, defence chiefs and MPs are exempted from paying toll.
