Mangaluru: The long-standing struggle of the citizens has borne fruit and the toll collection centre near Surathkal has not been cancelled but has been merged with the Hejamady tollgate, which is just a few kilometres away.
BJP State President MP Nalin Kumar Kateel clarified the news through tweet. But the Government has decided to collect additional user charges at the Hejamady toll plaza.
ಮಂಗಳೂರಿನ ಸುರತ್ಕಲ್ ಸಮೀಪದ ಟೋಲ್ ಸಂಗ್ರಹ ಕೇಂದ್ರ ರದ್ದಾಗಿದ್ದು, ನಮ್ಮ ಮನವಿಗೆ ಸೂಕ್ತವಾಗಿ ಸ್ಪಂದಿಸಿದ ಕೇಂದ್ರ ಸಚಿವರಾದ ಶ್ರೀ @nitin_gadkari ಹಾಗೂ ಪ್ರಧಾನಿ ಶ್ರೀ @narendramodi ಅವರಿಗೆ ನಾಗರಿಕರ ಪರವಾಗಿ ಧನ್ಯವಾದಗಳು.
ಟೋಲ್ ರದ್ದು ಮಾಡುವ ಭರವಸೆಯನ್ನು ಈ ಮೊದಲೇ ಕೇಂದ್ರ ಸಚಿವರು ನೀಡಿದ್ದು, ಈಗ ತಾಂತ್ರಿಕ ಅಂಶ ಪೂರೈಸಲಾಗಿದೆ.

On behalf of the citizens, I thank Union Minister Nitin Gadkari and Prime Minister Narendra Modi for responding to our request and cancelling the toll. The Union Minister had earlier promised to cancel the toll and now the technical aspect has been fulfilled, tweeted Nalin Kumar Kateel.
