SHILLONG, March 9: Deputy Chief Minister Prestone Tynsong, who also holds the PWD (Roads) portfolio, has downplayed the move of the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) to set up four toll plazas within a radius of 160 km in Meghalaya.
Tynsong on Tuesday defended the NHAI move, saying the toll plazas would come up on four different stretches of national highways and there was nothing wrong in it. He added that the national highways have been built on the PPP model and the construction companies have to recover their expenditure through toll as per the policy of the Union government.
Reminded that there are stretches on highways which are in bad shape but people still pay toll, Tynsong said that the concerned companies have a duty to repair those stretches which have deteriorated.
