Legal Challenge Against Extra Toll for Non-M-Tag Vehicles

A petition has recently been lodged in the Islamabad High Court (IHC) contesting the National Highway Authority’s (NHA) new policy that charges an additional 50% toll on vehicles lacking an M-Tag or those with insufficient funds in their M-Tag accounts. The petition, filed by attorney Muhammad Jalal Haider, targets not only the NHA but also the Ministry of Communications.

This move has sparked considerable debate among vehicle owners, as many feel that the extra charges are unjust, especially for those who might not have the M-Tag system set up or are facing balance issues. The legal proceedings aim to address these concerns and challenge the legality of the NHA’s decision.

As the case unfolds, it will be interesting to see how it impacts the toll system and whether it leads to any changes in policy regarding M-Tag usage in Pakistan. Stay tuned for updates as this story develops!
