Claim: During any medical emergency, flat tyre or in the need of fuel, you can call the phone number given on the other side of the receipt for assistance. So, do not throw the toll receipt.
Fact-check: Toll receipts are not mandatory to avail the emergency services on the National Highways - FACTLY
Verdict: irrespective of whether people pay the toll or not, emergency services like ambulance, towing and the crane services can be availed by national highway users by calling on the numbers given on the toll receipt or by calling the countrywide helpline- '1033'. also, it was not found anywhere that fuel will be supplied by the toll plazas if toll users run out of fuel. the emergency services are provided to all the users of national highways, so the claim made in the post is misleading.
