Thrissur: Vehicles passing through Paliyekkara Toll Plaza here on Saturday had a tough time as there was a long queue of vehicles allegedly due to the shortage of banknotes and point of sale (POS) terminals. Since the demonetization of high-value currencies on November 8, toll collection was stopped all across the country and restarted on Saturday.
Out of 14 gates at the plaza, eight have the facility to swipe credit and debit cards, but as boards on these gates fixed close to the cabin of the toll collector, vehicles had to shift gates further delaying their movements. The inexperience of employees to swipe cards also added to the trouble, they said. Toll plaza authorities said that matters would improve on Sunday.
