Brahmavar, Mar 3: "In the fight against levying toll charges on the locals at Sastan tollgate, we have become victorious. If Navayuga company begins to collect toll charges from the locals again, we will carry on fight for the shifting of the tollgate that has been illegally functioning within the town panchayat limits," warned president of Sastan Heddari Jagruti Samithi, Shyam Sundar Nairy

At the meeting, future activities of the Samithi were discussed. It was decided to turn the Samithi into a registered association.
