In response to a recent request for toll-free travel for scribes in India, Nitin Gadkari, an influential politician, categorically denied the possibility. He stated that providing toll-free travel for journalists was not feasible and would not be implemented. This statement comes amidst discussions about various concessions and benefits for journalists. Gadkari’s remarks suggest that tolls will continue to be charged for journalists, just like any other road user. However, the topic remains subject to ongoing debate and potential reconsideration in the future.
