Vehicles With Invalid Or Non-Functional Fastag Will Be Charged Double The Toll

Vehicles with invalid or non-functional FASTag will now be charged double the toll for their class.

The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has issued a notification amending GSR 298 E, the National Highway Tariff (Determination of Rates and Collection) Rules, 2008 dated 15 May 2020, which states that if a vehicle which is Fagag or vehicle Not fit with. Without a valid or functional FASTag, if the fee enters the “FASTag lane” of the plaza, they will pay a fee equal to twice the applicable fee for vehicles in that category.

Prior to this modification, the user of the vehicle was required to pay only twice the fee at the plaza if the vehicle did not FASTag and entered the dedicated FASTag lane.

It may be recalled that the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) India launched the first two mobile apps – MyFASTag and FASTag Partner – to facilitate the availability of FASTags for electronic toll collection.

MyFastag is a consumer app that can be downloaded from the App Store for both Android and iOS systems. A consumer can purchase or recharge FASTags on this app. The app also helps in tracking transactions and online grievance redressal.

FASTag Partner is a merchant app. Agencies like Common Services Center, Banking Partner, and Vehicle Dealer can sell and enroll FASTag through this app.

Apart from this, the app can also be used to activate RFID tags manufactured with around 74 lakh cars in the country after the 2013 Gazette notification in this regard. These RFID tags are already fixed on cars but are inactive. This app will convert these RFID tags into ETC tags (FASTag).

Rome’s Trevi Fountain tour revamped: Book your spot for a 30-minute, no-crowd experience

Trevi Fountain traditions paused for tourists: Rome introduces elevated walkway for a unique viewing experience

Tourists in Rome won’t be allowed to toss coins over their shoulders into the Trevi Fountain, following tradition, though an elevated walkway now gives limited access to the monument during maintenance work.

Rome Mayor Roberto Gualtieri inaugurated the steel walkway on Saturday, saying it will provide tourists with a close-up view of the fountain and calling it a “unique experience” that won’t be ruined by overcrowding.

The walkway over the fountain’s basin will be able to accommodate about 130 people at a time.

But tourists won’t be allowed to toss coins from there, as the fountain is currently drained, and could face a 50-euro fine if they do, the mayor warned.

City lore has it that tossing a coin into the Baroque fountain will ensure a return trip to Rome.

Gualtieri said a small pool has been set up next to the walkway to collect the coins, which are donated to the Caritas charity to fund meals for people in need.

The walkway will remain until the end of the maintenance work, which is expected to finish by year’s end.

Rome city officials are devising a plan to block off the area around the fountain. Under the plan, visitors will be required to book online and pay 2 euros ($2.20). Once inside, they will have 30 minutes to enjoy the fountain.
