Please note that i have highlighted the word 'CLAIM' above because, in reality and the world outside the deadly combo of DSC-NHAI Collaboration, these claims are never met. Have you heard the term "CHOR CHOR MAUSERE BHAI"... ??? This proverb is apt to the core for this deadly duo. You must be wondering why I am using the term deadly again and again... !!! that because this expressway has claimed more than 150 lives till now from the date it is opened for public. And you will be amazed to know that NHAI recently fined DSC for not sharing profit and it (NHAI) is deaf and dumb to the mismanagement and corruption which lead to the death of so many people.
DSC recently hiked toll tax by 2 Rs for small cars, that means now one has to pay Toll Tax of Rs 20 for one side entry at Delhi-Gurgaon border. DSC already generate a revenue of 7 million per day from this expressway. I know its require a lot of money to maintain a expressway like this but what a toll tax payer gets after paying this amount ?? First look at the pic below then i will proceed further:
Isn't is disgusting ? 500 Meter long lanes and a waiting time of around 15 minutes to pay toll tax and cross the toll plaza !!! And even after paying your hard earned money as toll tax what you get... a maximum speed of 25 KM on so called expressway during peek hours that too when you are lucky to find yourself moving.
DSC has promised a waiting time of 45 sec at toll plaza but all in books. DSC has promised a 20 minute drive from IFFCO chowk in Gurgaon to IGI Airport in Delhi but all in books. DSC has promised a safe and huddle free journey but all in books.
I am using this route since there was no expressway and i know that there is no difference in traveling time even after DSC and NHAI gifted us this 'Super Connectivity Expressway'. Only thing is that now we have to shell out our money to get stuck in traffic jam.
I really find it disgusting. First we have to pay tax when we buy a vehicle and then we pay income tax( most of the people who use this expressway during office hours are tax payer), still we have to pay toll tax to move on road developed by people's money.
Under the expert guidance of traffic management professionals of DSC and ownership of NHAI, the future of this expressway seems very dark but as lord Krishna said in Geeta "Karma kiye ja, phal ki chinta na kar".. i would like to modify "Toll tax diye ja, speed ki chinta na kar"
