Early Times Report
UDHAMPUR, May 11: Reiterating the demand to revise the rates of toll tax at Ban Toll Plaza, Panthers Party continued its protest against NHAI. While leading massive protest at Slathia Chowk Udhampur, Former MLA & NPP President Balwant Singh Mankotia demanded to revise the rates of toll tax at Ban Toll Plaza adding that Panthers Party is deeply concerned over this issue. Mankotia said that few days back in an inaugural function of Highway stretch at Kashmir, Governor Satyapal Malik stated that local Kashmiris will be exempted from toll tax and matter is already taken up with central government. While reacting on his statement, Mankotia expressed his deep anguish over the continuous favouritism with Kashmir region and step motherly behaviour with Jammu province adding that in Kashmir toll tax for 65 Km stretch is Rs 135 (Both sides) whereas between 65 km long Udhampur-Jammu stretch it is Rs 200 which is injustice with the people of Udhampur. Mankotia strongly batted for permanently removal of Ban Toll Plaza. He said that when a common man is already paying several taxes such as while buying new vehicle he has to pay 15 years advance road tax whereas then Vajpayee's led Union Government taken the decision to impose 50 paisa per litre tax on Petrol/Diesel for NH widening from Kashmir to Kanyakumari which is now increased to Rs 2, then why should common man has to pay another tax at toll plaza?, Mankotia asked. |
