Scores of people from 27 neighbouring villages are expected to take part in the scheduled mass protest. Many organisations have voluntarily joined the protest including religious centres, vehicle owners associations, social organizations, bus owner’s association, auto unions, various local organizations, elected representatives and others.
N Suhas Hegde, president of the Horata samithi has earlier said that government had taken a hasty decision to construct a Tollgate near Government junior college, Belman on the state highway that connects Padubidri and Karkala giving a shock to the people of Belman and neighbouring villages. Government has secretly tendered the contract to Mithra Info Solutions to collect toll with effect from October 15th, alleged the Samithi.
The demand
The government should cancel the tender immediately and forgo plans to collect toll on this highway, demand of the protestors.
