Gurugram: It was a heartbreak moment for hundreds of residents of Vatika City of Sector-81 New Gurugram after the road built by them was broken by the operator that runs the Kherki Dhaula toll.



The operators have called the road to be illegal and said that they were taking the step as using the road would have widened there losses. Meanwhile, the incident of the road being broken again resulted in citizens venting their ire on the government machinery and the toll operator. To prevent paying the toll, the residents of Vatika city had collected Rs three lakh and built a 200-meter road.

"Road is built during the night and dug in the morning. That is how the MCEPL (toll operator) is commiting a rogue behavior with the citizens. Sadly the government and the police are silent," said Ranavijay Singh, the city resident.

For lakhs of Gurugrammers who either work in Manesar or reside in new Gurugram travelling through Kherki Dhaula has been nothing sort of misery.

Many however admit that since Kherki toll is a major revenue generator there is a delay. What has led to even more flaring of tempers is the decision to implement a steep increase in toll rates. Now from one way a passenger vehicle that used to pay Rs 60 will have to pay Rs 65 and heavy commercial vehicles that used to pay an amount of Rs 185 will have to pay a one-way toll of Rs 190.
