Tankers carrying medical oxygen get toll-free access on NHAI highways
New Delhi: In order to provide uninterrupted passage for tankers and containers carrying liquid medical Oxygen (LMO) across the national highways, the user fee for such vehicles at Toll Plazas has been exempted. Keeping in view the current unprecedented demand of medical Oxygen across the country due to COVID-19 Pandemic, containers carrying liquid medical Oxygen will be treated at par with other emergency vehicles such as ambulances for a period of two months or till further orders.
Although the toll plazas have nearly zero waiting time after the implementation of FASTag, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is already providing priority passage to such vehicles for quick and seamless transportation of medical oxygen. Instructions have also been issued by NHAI to all its officials and other stakeholders to assist the government and private efforts to fight the pandemic in helping them in a proactive manner.
