Terming the imposition of toll tax on south Kashmir highway as “fleecing”, the Kashmir Economic Alliance, Chairman, Muhammad Yasin Khan has demanded its immediate revocation.
In a statement, Khan, who also heads the Kashmir Traders and Manufacturers Federation, said at a time when toll tax has been declared invalid even on expressways in metropolitans like that connecting New Delhi with Noida, the imposition of such “uncalled for” tax in turmoil-hit south Kashmir would further choke Kashmir’s economy.
Khan said the imposition of such tax within one region was injustice with the people who have been bearing the brunt of the turmoil.
