Early Times Report
JAMMU, Oct 11: District Congress Committee, Jammu Rural sought immediate rollback of toll tax being levied on vehicles on the newly installed Jammu- Sarore Toll Plaza, terming the move will put the road users under pressure.
In a statement issued here on Friday, Hari Singh Chib, President DCC Jammu Rural urged the Governor Satya Pal Malik to suspend the tax levied at the Sarore Toll Plaza. He said that such huge taxation in the form of multiple toll plazas was simply unaffordable for the common masses and particularly those who had to commute on regular basis between Jammu, Samba and Lakhanpur.
Chib asserted that this is the extra burden on the innocent people of Jammu region as well on the tourists who come in the state for Vaishno Devi and Amarnath Yatris.
Chib asserted that National Highway Samba to Jammu is totally dense traffic area and due to the huge traffic it is also the accidental and jam prone area. The National Highway authorities has not taken the preventive steps regarding this concern as it has not installed the equipments which may help to enforce the traffic rules and the violators be punished, he said.
Chib emphasised that the government should take steps for providing facilities to the people as well as the road users not to harass them. He said that the people who were travelling on the national highway are facing huge problems. He added that due to mismanagement of the government long queue of vehicles were seen on the toll plaza. He said that the toll plaza was installed in a hurry.
Expressing dismay over the decision, DCC President termed it was unjust and unfair to levy taxes on people. He urged the Governor to immediately defer the imposing of toll tax. |
