Toll Plaza: The Kanwar route is now possessing excessive Kanwariyaa which is creating a saffron scene. The Siwaya toll plaza management is now allowing Kanwariyas to freely carry on their activities. The toll booth barriers which were closed earlier, now have black polythene draped over them while the toll booths remain closed. This means that vehicles around Siwaya toll plaza will be able to drive through without needing to halt. Although, the CCTV cameras located at the toll plaza's barriers remain operational. Vehicles with Fastag will have their toll charges automatically deducted upon entering the camera's zone.As it is the case every passing year, the Siwaya toll is overflowing with Kanwariyas. All toll booths have been set to open, avoiding any inconvenience to the Kanwariyas. Although the vehicles will be passing through without any hassles, all toll plaza cameras will continue to function. Vehicles with registration numbers sporting Fastag will continue to be charged tolls whenever they cross the camera zones.Traffic suspended on Delhi-Doon HighwayDue to the inflow of Kanwariyas from Haridwar towards Meerut-Muzaffarnagar, the traffic on Delhi-Dehradun Highway has been suspended since 12 o’clock on Friday night.
