The Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) has suggested that the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) address traffic congestion at the toll nakas of Mumbai's entry points. MPCB officials stated that, despite the toll exemption for four-wheelers, traffic congestion persists and continues to contribute significantly to air pollution.
MPCB Member Secretary Avinash Dhakane said, “In a recent meeting, we suggested ensuring seamless traffic movement at toll nakas. Although private four-wheelers are now exempt from tolls, we have noticed no improvement in traffic flow. We have asked MSRDC to work on this issue.”
