The bandh is being also held in response to the loss suffered by car owners in Mulki zone due to the toll gates at Hejmady and Surathkal.
Due to the toll collection at Hejmady tollgate, people living just half-a-kilometer from the toll gate are suffering and even after submitting multiple requests, the concerned officials and representatives of the people have failed to respond, it is alleged.
A meeting in this connection is being conducted today to take a proper decision and the meeting is being attended by the MP’s, MLA’s of the undivided districts and officials. If the talks fail, it has been decided to hold a Padayatra to Hejmady toll gate under the leadership of the representatives of the people in protest to the toll plaza and the padayatra will be followed by intensive protest.
