IRB Infrastructure Customer Care's response Dear Sh.Avinash Sir,

1. Please refer to your email dated 27 May 2018.
2. Your call was received by CCR at 00: 58 hrs on 27 May 2018, regarding assistance required as the fuel in your car had finished.
3. Despite repeated queries by the CRO, your location was not identified though it was clear that you were traveling towards Ahmedabad.

5. The avoidable delay occurred due to deficiency of communication between the affected parties. Notwithstanding the above, we have addressed the issue and counselled the CRO/concerned staff, so that such incidents are not repeated.

This is for your information please.

vdsoccer's response Sir, I am daily commuter from anand to vadodara by my own car. Yesterday, i went to IRB office to issue me a regular pass for this route. He asked me to wait for some minutes in order to check the distance between the address referred on my RC and the toll plaza. It was found to be 22 kms. He told me, this is not possible, as it was not within the radius of 20 kms.

Now, my question is that, he calculated the distance, rather checking the radius which i feel that, it would be less than 20 kms.

Please look into the matter, as the dsitance can be measured in any manner. But the radius will a constant .

An early reply would oblidge me much. hoping for a positive reply.
