It caused a problem with the toll scale motherboard. But it was fixed in the morning. There was some pressure in the truck lane. It was not a big deal, just an electrical short circuit in a lightning strike.
On the other hand, Mawa traffic police in-charge Ziaul Haider said that there was a temporary problem with the toll scale in the morning. Due to this, the toll collection was stopped for a while, so the cars started gathering in front of the toll plaza. There was a traffic jam for an hour and a half. However, when the toll collection started around 10:30 am, the picture of the road became normal.
The the toll scale lost power connection in the early morning of Tuesday night due to lightning strike at Mawa Toll Plaza of Padma Bridge.

Hundreds of vehicles were waiting to cross the bridge at that time. Trucks were the most. Later, at around 10:30 in the morning, when the scale was activated, the toll collection restarted.
