Mangaluru, Apr 23: Union minister for highways Nitin Gadkari said that the toll gates which are within 5 to 10 km within city limits and within 60 km on highways are illegal. The highway department has prepared a list of 181 such toll gates all over the country and sent to the highways ministry.

Karnataka has 18 toll gates that violate rule 8 of highway toll. Out of this 10 toll gates are built within 50 to 59 km of another toll gate. The rest nine are even worse with distance of just 11 to 35 km from another toll gate.

    It is because of piece meal work allotted.... well reputed companies are not given single stretch. Say minimum of 200 kms .. or more....companies like L& T .. The contracts to small companies involves local politicians vested interests COmmissions etc etc ....hence so many different tolls ..

    Surathkal tollgate is totally illigal in india and only one of its kind in india since in all tollgates they collect fees but in surathkal KA19 vehicle no toll thats y its running and also last time on my return deducted double fees. Its high time for the people to take the bulldozer model of UP just bring bulldozer and remove the tollgate no need protest and dharna. Goondagalige Bulldozer treatment kodabeku. We want Yash inspired people to do this.

    I see a lot of comments opposing the toll fees. Such 'anti nationals'! For the same of nationalism can't you people shell out a few bucks. Learn from Andh Bhakts. They are ready to pay if there are 60 toll booths in 60 kilometer radius. Aur kisko Chahiye 'Vikas' ? Like Salman Khan in Dabangg saying ' Aur kisko chahiye 'Promotion'? 🤣🤣🤣

    Its alright, not a problem. Our citizens are ready to pay the toll because the priority for our citizens right now is Halal, Hijab and volume of Azan. So toll gate should be given less prioirty 😆

    He didn't mention anything about the illegal B C Road? Maybe it's a milking pot for illegal tolls. Wondering when it will be demolished.

    You make the rules and people suffer. Output: Reduce toll gate and increase the amount in nearby one. Found an Increase in 5, 10,15 rupees per travel.
