Delhi residents are facing extra costs while traveling within the city due to a newly set-up toll plaza. Even short trips inside the city now require paying toll tax, causing frustration among commuters. The toll affects routes from North and Outer Delhi to Dwarka, the airport, and Gurugram. Many people have called it an unfair financial burden, while the Khap has issued a 360-day ultimatum to revoke the toll. Villagers in nearby areas have also protested, demanding that toll collection within a 60-kilometer travel range be stopped immediately.
