Concerned Issues
NH 62 is the route which many coal traders use to bring coals from the minefields of nangal, dubu located in Meghalaya. These trucks are always overloaded and they carry 35 to 40 Tons of coal while the set limit by the government is only 15 tons, and the local administration is helping the truck owners and coal merchants by taking a sum of Rs 300 only without imposing any fines for overloading which otherwise would have been around Rs 20000 per truck, and averagely 300 coal loaded trucks uses NH 62 everyday. Moreover the NHAI has not taken any measures to end this overloading of trucks and the corrupt police officers which also includes the high ranked personnel are eating the money which otherwise would have gone to the government treasury.[citation needed]
NH 62 is a highly commercial route and setting up a Toll Plaza is very important both to stop this illegal overloading, Maintenance of the highway. And it will also help in killing the other problems caused by overloading such as high emission of pollution by the overloaded trucks. And looking at the current environmental issues the government should take serious steps in regulating the trucks transporting coals.[citation needed]
