Local cab operators seek toll-free passage at Madukkarai plaza

COIMBATORE: Local cab operators and taxi drivers have urged the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) to allow toll-free crossings for vehicles registered in panchayats near the Madukkarai toll plaza on the Neelambur bypass road. The demand comes as construction work is under way on the Marappalam bridge construction on the Palakkad Main Road, leaving residents with no alternative routes to enter the city.
