    This is what happens when you have illegal tolls. Tolls collecting money and still providing terrible roads. All these after paying hefty road tax. People have no redressal mechanisms when they don't get the required infrastructure despite paying through their noses. The law in India is loaded against the consumer. The toll itself is in shambles. At any given time one of the three lanes will not be functional. Fastag is not functional or slow. No local staff in the toll. Local people are expected to talk to the toll staff in their language!!. The entry and exit paths are full of potholes and unscientific humps. The tolled road is another disaster.
    When this is the state of affairs, I won't be surprised if one day, people start physically attacking the toll staff.

    Life threat on the bad road (Nanthoor to Suratkal) not worse than this incident.
    Fortunately, it is a one-day threat for the toll employee and for us it is on a daily basis

    Kerala, is known as God's own country...... a land, created by Lord Parasurama, for his devotees, to live peacefully !!!!

    Tragically today, the entire district, of North Kerala, has turned into a fortress, for extremists....... many from its ranks, have joined the dreaded ISIS bandwagon !!!!! The spillover effect, can be felt in the serene land, of tranquility.... slowly n steadily, we notice a growing tribe, invading the coastal region to create, lawlessness, communal disharmony, in Dakshin Kannada district !!!!!
