Karnataka Oppn parties slam NHAI project director for ‘who will take toll road’ comment

The recently-inaugurated Bengaluru-Mysuru Expressway continues to be in the middle of a storm after the project director of National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) in a statement said that if a service road is provided to the stretch, who will take the toll road.

On Wednesday, NHAI project director B T Sridhar while addressing the media had said, “There is a rule that continuity should not be given (for service roads) where the railway line passes. If we give full continuity (of service roads), who will pay the toll to us?”
