Outrage against N. Highway mess: Protest near Hejamadi Tollgate
Padubidri: A symbolic protest was held at Hejamadi Tollgate on National Highway 66 on Thursday, demanding the exemption in toll for local vehicles, and the immediate completion of the National Highway 66 works.
“Complete the national highway work or stop the toll collection. Toll collection should be permanently stopped for local vehicles. Construct the highway as per the original map of 2010. While setting up four tollgates within 90 kilometers is against the National Highway Law, Surathkal tollgate must be removed immediately,” the committee urged.
“National highway curves are unscientific, and no warning sign boards are installed in the accident-prone zones, road dividers are inadequate,” the committee added.
The protesters then submitted a memorandum to Kapu Tahsildar Guru Siddayya Hiremath.

Telangana to name roads after Ratan Tata, Donald Trump
Hyderabad (PTI): The Telangana government on Sunday said it has decided to name the upcoming greenfield radial road at the proposed RRR in honour of the late industrialist Ratan Tata.
In another proposal, a high-profile road along the United States Consulate General in Hyderabad will be named ‘Donald Trump Avenue’, the government said in a release.
The state government will write to the Union Ministry of External Affairs and the US Embassy to inform them of the plans.
Earlier this year, Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, while addressing the annual US-India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF) conclave in Delhi, had proposed naming key roads in Hyderabad after leading global corporations.
Additionally, a prominent stretch will be named ‘Google Street’ to recognise the global impact and contribution of Google and Google Maps.
The road along Google’s upcoming campus, set to be the company’s largest outside the US, in Hyderabad’s Financial District, will receive this recognition, the release said.
The proposals are part of the Telangana government’s initiative to position the state as a hub for innovation-driven development.
Microsoft and Wipro are also expected to receive recognition in the city’s topography, with a Wipro Junction and a Microsoft Road, in line with the chief minister’s vision, the release added.
The state government is considering dedicating additional roads in honour of distinguished individuals and corporations.
