The FASTag mechanism, which is mandatory for us, continues to dole out free passes to a select few. In fact, as per the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), there are total 788 members of Parliament (MPs), but 1,136 radio frequency identification (RFID) tags have been distributed under the exempted category.
Pune-based activist Sanjay Shirodkar, who has been working on the toll issue, says, As per the weekly report of NHAI, as on 31 January 2021, the Indian Highways Management Company Ltd (IHMCL) had issued 4,204 free FASTags to those in the exempted category. Earlier, there were just five to seven top office bearers like the President and the Prime Minister, who were exempted from paying toll on official duty. Now the list has increased to more than 25 categories.

The mystery of Prime Minister s Citizen Assistance and Relief in Emergency Situations Fund (PM CARES Fund) and the attempts by everyone in the Union government to keep all information about it secret makes mockery of transparency in public life. Take, for example, the fact that PM CARES Fund is listed as a public charitable trust, although the prime minister (PM) in his official capacity is the
ex-officio chief of the board of trustees, which includes Union ministers of defence, home affairs and finance, who are
ex-officio trustees of the fund. The defence ministry website seeks donations for this Fund and, yet, says it does not have any information about the Fund.
