On May 13, the West Bengal government, under Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari, issued a significant directive to close all unauthorized toll gates and collection points immediately. This order, communicated by Chief Secretary Manoj Aggarwal, mandates district magistrates to identify such unauthorized toll gates within their jurisdictions. Following identification, these structures will be removed, and measures will be implemented to prevent their re-establishment. The order also stipulates that any collection of fees at these unauthorized points must cease immediately. Furthermore, authorized collection points, whether legal or illegal, must be compiled and reported to the authorities by May 15. This move is part of a broader initiative to combat illegal activities, including toll collection without proper authorization.
