Let us tell you that earlier, people used to put money in Fastag just before reaching the toll gate and used to cross the toll without any hassle. But now, after doing this, the FASTag does not get activated immediately, which can lead to obstruction and dispute at the toll plaza.
What does the toll plaza manager say?
Shahdol manager Rahul Sharma has also confirmed this rule. He said that now the FASTag does not get activated immediately, so drivers are advised to recharge the FASTag at least an hour before coming to the toll plaza. This will help them avoid trouble.

Resident Saurabh Kumar Pandey says that earlier he used to recharge the FASTag only when he reached the toll gate, but now he has to do this work an hour in advance, so that there is no hindrance.
