Farmer leaders demand suspension of toll on NH 766

Members of farmers organisations demand that the toll collection at K N Hundi on Nanjangud Road, National Highway 766, be suspended till the problems at the plaza and on the road are solved.

They alleged that the toll collection is a violation of the norms of the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) itself, as the quality of the road is not good and the facilities mandated are not provided.

“As per the norms, a vehicle should not wait for more than a stipulated time, in seconds, at the toll plaza, for waiting for payment of toll, payment of toll and clearance for exit. But, the vehicles are made to wait for longer durations,” said Karnataka Rajya Raitha Sangha Raitha Parva president Arun Kumar.
