Protests Erupt as Toll Collection Starts Before NH 66 Work is Completed!
Political parties and local groups demand immediate halt to toll collection at Nattika until roadworks are finalized.
In a dramatic display of public dissent, leaders from CPI, CPI(M), Congress, and various local organizations marched to the Nattika toll plaza, demanding that toll collection be deferred until the incomplete works on NH 66 are addressed. Citizens have raised concerns about the unfair burden of toll charges when the road is not yet fully operational, questioning the accountability of the authorities involved.
As roadworks linger without completion, residents are left wondering why toll collection has commenced and who is responsible for this oversight. The protests underscore a growing frustration over government promises that remain unfulfilled, leaving ordinary citizens to bear the brunt of infrastructural failures.
According to The Hindu, the demand is clear: no toll should be charged until the necessary road improvements are finished. Will the government heed the people's call for justice and transparency? The answer remains to be seen.
