However, the <strong>Atal Setu toll<\/strong> will remain unaffected by this new policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Long-Standing Demand Finally Met<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The toll waiver has been a <strong>long-standing demand<\/strong> from various political parties, including the <strong>Maharashtra Navnirman Sena<\/strong> and leaders from both factions of the <strong>Shiv Sena<\/strong>. <strong>Aaditya Thackeray<\/strong>, leader of <strong>Shiv Sena (UBT)<\/strong>, recently reiterated the need for toll exemptions at Mumbai\u2019s entry points. The state government\u2019s decision addresses this demand, which has been a critical issue for many Mumbai commuters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Expected Impact on Commuters<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The exemption will benefit a large number of <strong>daily travelers<\/strong> who use the <strong>Dahisar<\/strong>, <strong>LBS Road-Mulund<\/strong>, <strong>Eastern Express Highway-Mulund<\/strong>, <strong>Airoli Creek Bridge<\/strong>, and <strong>Vashi<\/strong> toll booths regularly. This initiative is particularly aimed at easing congestion during the festive period and offering financial relief to regular commuters, who have long voiced concerns about the burden of toll charges on their daily commutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Timely Move Before Elections<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This toll exemption comes just ahead of the assembly elections in Maharashtra and is likely to have a positive impact on <strong>voter sentiment<\/strong>. The <strong>timing<\/strong> of the announcement and its <strong>implementation<\/strong> reflects the government\u2019s efforts to address public concerns and ease mobility in and around Mumbai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mid-day.com\/mumbai\/mumbai-news\/article\/37-per-cent-of-recovered-patients-show-long-covid-syndrome-study-23195372\">Image Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a significant move ahead of the upcoming Maharashtra assembly elections, Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has announced that light motor vehicles will be exempt from paying tolls at five key entry points into Mumbai starting October 14, 2024.
