Maharashtra Government a BHUKHI, NANGI government. Following their wierd ways to fleece the local general Tax Payers of the state is band of thieves who are openly looting the visitors / tourists to Lonavala.
Taking a tip from the TOLL TAX being levied in Mahableshwar and Panchgani, this gang of some people in Lonavala have started collecting TOLL TAX in Lonavala. They have made a make shift structure just after you come down the flyover towards the famous Lonavala Market. They stop cars and buses and use bad , filthy language and extract money terming it as "TOLL TAX".
On inquiring about any kind of official paper stating about this kind of tax, these people start abusing and also start hitting decent people coming with families. The so called TOLL TAX RECEIPTS are just pre printed receipts, which do not have any signature, stamp or date or name of any issuing authority.
It is necesarry that this BHUKHI, NANGI government does something and stops this fraud.
A word of CAUTION for visitors to Lonavala " PLEASE DO NOT PAY ANY MONEY WHEN ASKED FOR, AND ASK THE PEOPLE FOR ANY KIND OF OFFICIAL NOTIFICATION OR NOTICE FOR THE SAME".
