He said that to avail this benefit, the concerned applicants will have to take a special fast tag with exemption. In this regard, they will have to register themselves on the website https://exemptedfastag.nhai.org/exemptedfastag and after registration, by filling the online form, an exempted fast tag will be issued by the competent authority, which the disabled people will have to put on their vehicles. .

Dr. Baljeet Kaur said that detailed information about the rules issued in this regard is available on the department's website https://sswcd.punjab.gov.in/. Apart from this, if disabled people face any difficulty in availing this facility, then they can contact the office of the District Social Security Officer of their district or the Child Development Project Officer of the concerned block.
