In a significant move ahead of the upcoming elections, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde announced that Mumbai would go toll-free for cars and SUVs. This decision is aimed at providing relief to daily commuters who have long criticized the burden of toll fees across the city’s entry points. The CM assured that the new policy will not affect ongoing infrastructure projects. While Shinde’s supporters view this as a people-centric initiative, opposition leaders have criticized it as an election gimmick. With Mumbai's traffic woes in focus, the toll exemption could be a game-changer in the political battle for Maharashtra .
