Diwali bonus disputes have surfaced again, this time leading to a strike by toll officers at the Fatehabad plaza on the Agra-Lucknow Expressway. The officers opened the gates for free movement to protest the lack of a Diwali bonus.

While some chose to throw gifts of Soan Papdi boxes at the office, employees at the Fatehabad toll plaza on Saturday night began a protest for being denied a Diwali

bonus.

Vehicles were seen crossing the toll booth without any tax payment in an unexpected situation that is thought to have caused lakhs of rupees worth of losses to the Union Government.

The expressway is known to be a major bridge that provides a direct link between Agra and Lucknow, also connecting to Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR) via the Yamuna Expressway.
