Earlier on Monday, the Cabinet approved the draft of National Toll Policy-2014, charging each car Tk 5 to 1000 for using national, regional and district highways under the Roads and Highways Department.

“This decision is part of that rental power plant ploy to loot money from people,” said party’s Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi at a press conference at the party’s Naya Paltan office on Tuesday.

“Instead of saving people from road crashes and giving them relief from constant traffic jam, the government has formulated the toll policy,” he said.
