Resident medical students at Vedantaa Institute of Medical Sciences, Dahanu, have expressed concern about their FASTag wallets emptying at rapid rates, as the Khaniwade and Charoti toll booths on NH48, which adjoin the institute, have begun deducting Rs 130 instead of Rs 75, and Rs 95 instead of Rs 65, respectively. Originally, the tolls for one-way and return journeys at Khaniwade were Rs 75 and Rs 110, respectively, while those imposed at Charoti were Rs 65 and Rs 100.

“I began noticing discrepancies in my FASTag wallet in June. The Khaniwade toll booth deducted R130 from my wallet on June 13, 21, 23, and July 2. This is when we raised a stink, and the toll authorities asked us to talk to our banks,” said Dr Manashvi Gogri, a final-year resident from the college.
