NHAI forced to stop toll collection at Kumbalam
June 13, 2011
KOCHI: Amidst strong protests from the local people and other organisations, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) had to stop the toll collection at the Kumbalam Toll Plaza on NH-47, on Saturday.
Following protests, the authorities have decided to convene a meeting of ministers, MLAs and the representatives of various organisations on Sunday to discuss the issue. Activists of various political parties and organisations, under the aegis of the National Highway Protection Council, took out marches to the Toll Plaza at Kumbalam on Saturday morning. Some of them picketed the toll booth.
The agitators and the local people tore away the flex board put up by the NHAI displaying the toll rates.
The agitators prevented the motorists from paying the toll. As the protests grew, the officials closed the toll counters for the day.
