Sonamarg, March 27, 2025 – In response to recent videos circulating on social media showing disputes over toll payments at the Shutkadi Toll Post, the administration wishes to provide clear guidance on the toll policy to prevent further confusion.
Residents of Shutkadi, Sonamarg, Nilgrath, and Sarbal, along with employees of various departments working in Sonamarg, are exempt from toll charges at the Shutkadi Toll Post. This long-standing policy aims to support the local community and ensure smooth travel for residents and employees.
However, individuals engaged in business or commercial activities in Sonamarg are required to pay toll charges, as per established guidelines. These fees contribute to infrastructure maintenance and the sustainable development of the area.
The administration urges all individuals to cooperate with authorities and follow the outlined toll regulations. Any concerns or misunderstandings can be addressed by contacting the Sonamarg Development Authority (SDA) for further clarification.
This policy reaffirms the commitment to fair implementation, transparency, and the continued development of Sonamarg for both residents and businesses.
