The National Conference today assailed the National Highway Authority of India and the state administration for adopting dilly-dallying tactics over the winding up of the Sarore toll plaza and referred to the overwhelming sentiment against it among people besides the various other stakeholders like trade and commerce, industry, transport and tourism operators.
“The assurances with regard to slashing of road tax or keeping a particular segment out of its gambit won’t work. The toll plaza has to be abolished and the administration should take a call on it, sooner the better, especially as the state is passing through difficult times currently,” National Conference provincial president Devender Singh Rana and state secretary Surjeet Singh Slathia said in a joint statement.
