Surathkal: Members of several organizations, led by the Tollgate Virodhi Horata Samithi, on Friday declared an unending, round-the-clock fast, demanding the clearance of the tollgate in Surathkal.
The members, who started their protest near the tollgate on Friday morning, reportedly urged the authorities and representatives to stop giving assurances and get the tollgate cleared as it was built illegally.
The protesters also shouted slogans against the state government, Dakshina Kannada MP Nalin Kumar Kateel, and local MLAs, including Umanath Kotian, Bharat Shetty, and Vedavyas Kamath, said sources.
Samithi convener Muneer Katipalla, former minister K Abhayachandra Jain, activists Dinesh Hegde Ulepadi, B K Imtiaz and Pratibha Kulai, former legislator Mohiuddin Bava, Raghavendra Rao, and Mohammad Kunjathbail were among the leaders in the protest.
