| DSS terms Toll Plazas in Jammu region discriminatory | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Oct 16: Reacting to a large number of calls and brewing up public resentment against the newly instituted toll plazas the Dogra Sadar Sabha (DSS) held a special meeting of its core group convened by their president, Th. Gulchain Singh Charak.
In his opening remarks, the Former Minister apprised the members of the public resentment brewing up in the whole of Jammu region in general and Jammu, Samba and Hira Nagar areas in particular against the toll plazas being put in place by the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) under the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways and sought views from the members. Members also pointed out that the pilgrims to Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine will have to get delayed and pay at three toll plazas in a short distance of two to three hours of drive, namely at Raj Bagh/Hira Nagar, Sarore and Ban. This sounds like a deliberate mischief to discourage religious pilgrimage and create hurdles on the way of devotees arriving from all over the country, including foreigners. Members pointed out at the poor designing also, creating road block at Sarore and many complaints about the crude and rude behavior of the Toll Tax collectors and the contractor's men. Some members called it discriminatory to Jammu region since this spineless administration dare not place such hurdles, north of Banihal pass and is still maintaining the 'K' centric postures even after much hyped abrogation of Article 370 and the ensuing UT status to Jammu & Kashmir. |
