Mangaluru, Jan 1: District BJP led by Mangaluru South MLA Vedavayas Kamath staged protest here at Talapady tollgate against Navayuga company for collecting toll from commuters on Wednesday, January 1.
Vedavyas Kamath said, “We are holding a peaceful protest at Talapady tollgate and not allowing any one to pay toll here. Vehicles should be allowed to move free without paying the toll.
“Despite MP Nalin Kumar Kateel handing over Rs 62 crore for Pumpwell flyover, Navayuga company has failed to complete the work in the given time frame.
“Navayuga company promised to complete the work and kept giving deadlines. Congress has simply defamed the name of MP Nalin. During the meeting yesterday, Navayuga company has given in writing that work will be completed on January 31. Hence, this protest is a warning for Navayuga company,” he stated.
