I was travelling from Mumbai to Nashik on NH-3 in my personal car registration # MH03CM6181, during this journey my toll Rs. 120 was deducted at Arjunali toll plaza. Around 14:30 Hrs. I reached lane # N1, towards Nashik, Km 455.485 toll plaza (NH-3), Survey # 217/1, Ghoti (BK) 422 402, Tal – Igatpuri, Dist – Nashik, MH.
When I entered lane no. N1 towards Nashik The boom barrier was the open condition, a signal was in green, on digital display board no information regarding my vehicle was displayed (This bord showing some irrelevant information which normal in this toll plaza).
Since my toll was already deducted at Arjunali toll plaza (Arjunali & Ghoti toll plaza are interlinked toll plaza) and said above no stop sign/signal was for my vehicle hence didn’t stop my car and I moved the car within the permissible speed limit.
Until my car crossed to the toll booth, the boom barrier was in open position condition and when I just reach the boom the booth operator manually closed the boom barrier and it gets suddenly closed due to this action and my windshield frame got damaged.
The above incidence clearly shows error in the boom barrier system at toll plaza lane N1 & incompetence of boom barrier operator at the toll booth.
I contacted the toll plaza manager and CCTV Operator immediately and brief them about the incident showing the CCTV footage, but no positive response was given by them.
I requesting authorities to take necessary action against the toll plaza operator and compensation of car damage to be paid by the toll plaza operator.
