Senior Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar has called for the Maharashtra government to consider exempting four-wheelers and light motor vehicles from paying toll taxes within the state, a PTI report stated. This proposal comes on the heels of a warning from Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray, who threatened to set toll booths on fire if small vehicles were not excluded from toll charges.

Addressing reporters in Nagpur, Wadettiwar emphasized, "Deputy chief minister (Devendra Fadnavis) has clearly stated that the government does not levy toll fees on four-wheelers and light motor vehicles. It is essential that this exemption is properly implemented, as toll collection is currently in effect at the toll booths."
