Mysuru: The move of National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) to collect toll on Nanjangud Toll Plaza near Kadakola via National Highway-212 (now NH-766) is ill-planned and poorly executed as the toll booth is not equipped with FASTag Sensors that enable smooth passage of vehicles with FASTag. This means, a commuter has to pay toll despite having FASTag on his vehicle.
FASTag is a sticker that needs to be put at the front windshield of the vehicle. The FASTag then becomes the radio frequency identity of one’s vehicle and it is automatically read by the sensors placed at Toll Plazas. The Sensor will read the tag and allow the vehicle to pass smoothly without the vehicle waiting in a queue. However, the Toll Plaza at Nanjangud (K.N. Hundi) is not FASTag-enabled.
