Dhilwan Toll Plaza: AAP MLA from Baba Bakala Sahib Dalbir Singh Tong and toll officials clashed at Dhilwan Toll Plaza on Amritsar-Jalandhar Highway on Tuesday night. Later, Tong kept the toll free for about three and a half hours.
Tong said that the VIP lane at this toll is often closed. Many ambulances and other vehicles face difficulties. Patients' lives are put at risk by standing in line. He said that a few days ago, discussions were also held with the toll officials regarding this matter, but no solution was found.
Tong said the toll officials used abusive language against him and the party supremo. Upon receiving information about the incident, the police arrived at the spot, following which the toll road was reopened after being cleared from 7.19 am to 10 am.
