Samithi begins indefinite strike, seeks closure of Suratkal tollgate
Mangaluru: The Toll Gate Virodhi Horata Samiti, Surathkal, has begun an indefinite strike demanding the closure of the Surathkal toll plaza.
The MPs had promised at the National Highway Authority of India's (NHAI) meeting that the contract for the toll collection at the Surathkal toll gate will not be renewed after its date gets over on October 30. But now the NHAI authorities have once again initiated the process to renew the contract. With this, the highway authorities have decided to continue the illegal tollgate. MP Nalin Kumar Kateel is directly responsible for this, the protesters alleged.
