A news about toll tax is spreading rapidly, that from now on two-wheeler drivers will have to pay toll. Many media houses have started publishing such news. This news has started spreading like wildfire. Meanwhile, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari on his social media called the news fake and said, “Some media outlets are spreading false news about imposing toll on two-wheelers. No such decision has been proposed. Complete exemption from toll for two-wheelers will continue. Spreading false news and creating a sensation without knowing the truth is not a sign of healthy journalism. I condemn it.
