Mansar toll plaza to be shifted

Nagpur: Union transport minister Nitin Gadkari has assured that the toll plaza at Mansar would be shifted towards Khawasa. It will be shifted beyond Nagpur Metropolitan Region Development Authority (NMRDA) limits. Guardian minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule had met Gadkari with road problems of the district in Delhi.
Currently, people travelling from Nagpur to Ramtek have to pay toll. If the plaza is shifted beyond Mansar they will not have shell out money. This has been a major demand of people of Ramtek since years. Gadkari also agreed to shift the Patansaogi toll plaza towards Betul.

Gadkari directed officials of National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) to construct highways till the town centre instead of municipal limits. Till now roads within municipal limits are constructed by municipal councils, which are always short of funds. This decision will benefit towns like Saoner, Mouda, etc.

Lot of accidents take place near Koradi Mahalaxmi Temple. Ways to prevent them were discussed in the meeting. Gadkari promised to sanction amount for remedial measures. He also directed NHAI officials to determine the accident prone spots on Nagpur-Chhindwada highway and constructed flyovers there.
