NHAI waives user fee at three toll plazas in Kerala

The National Highways Authority of India on Tuesday said toll collection at three toll plazas on national highways in flood-ravaged Kerala has been suspended.

The waiver has been made at the toll plazas at Paliekkara in Thrissur district, Pampampallam in Palakkad district and Kumbalam in Kochi, Ministry of Road Transport & Highways said in a statement.

The waiver came into effect last week and will continue till August 26, it added.

Many highways in the state are flooded, including the stretches of NH-544, close to Aluva, due to the unprecedented rains.
