Udupi: The merger of the Hejamady and Surathkal tollgates is an unscientific decision, said MLA Raghupati Bhat.
After closing Surathkal tollgate MLA Ragupathi Bhat met Union Road Transport and Highway Minister Nithin Gadkari in New Delhi on Thursday December 1 and has submitted a memorandum regarding the merger of toll charges levied in Hejamady.
Minister Gadkari received the memorandum and claimed that a meeting will be held with the National Highways Authority of India representatives on Monday December 5 to overview the issue.
The MLA has urged the Union Minister Gadkari and NHAI officials not to collect additional toll charges at Hejamady until the meeting scheduled for Monday is held.
