No More Toll Fees on Punhana Jurhera Road—Thousands to Benefit Daily
In a major relief for commuters, the Commercial Toll Plaza-42 (TP-42) on Punhana Jurhera Road near the Rajasthan border in Nuh district, Haryana, will cease operations from February 17, 2025, at midnight. This decision, welcomed by locals, will benefit thousands of daily commuters traveling between Haryana and NCR.
Why is the Toll Plaza Closing?According to Deputy Commissioner Vishram Kumar Meena, the toll plaza was operated by M/s A.S. Multipurpose Services under an 18-month contract, which expires on February 17 at 12:00 AM. Following the directive of Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Saini, the Public Works Department (PWD) has instructed the permanent closure of the toll collection point.
Major Benefits for Commuters✅ Toll-Free Travel – Vehicles can now pass through this stretch without paying toll charges.
