Ludhiana: Punjab’s most expensive toll plaza is once again going to be free for the people from tomorrow (Friday). That is, people will not have to pay anything to pass through there. This decision has been taken in the meeting of the officials of Toll Plaza Workers Union Punjab. While chairing the meeting, Punjab Chief Darshan Singh Ladi said that the demands of the workers have not been met for a long time. Due to this, the decision to shout toll plaza has been taken.

Darshan Singh said that for many months meetings were being held with the company officials regarding their demands, but till date their demands have not been met.  Toll Plaza Workers Union Punjab has announced that from September 27, Ladowal toll plaza will be closed indefinitely and no toll will be collected from any driver.

Darshan Singh Ladi said that the employees working at the toll plaza are not being given any government holiday nor is any deduction being made in their PF. He said that the said company is not providing any ESI and welfare schemes to the toll employees. This is a direct violation of the rights of the employees and now the toll plaza will be closed until their demands are met.

Earlier too, Ladowal Toll Plaza was closed by farmers against the hiked toll fees. After the intervention of Court, Toll plaza was opened under heavy deployment of police force.
