SRINAGAR: Governor Satya Pal Malik on Thursday claimed that locals would be exempted from shelling out toll tax on Countrywide Freeway 44, a working day after powerful protests from its imposition in Jammu and Kashmir.
“There won’t be any toll tax on the locals. We have taken up the problem with the central federal government but owing to the ongoing election approach things have slowed up a little bit,” the Governor instructed reporters in Srinagar soon after inaugurating grade separator to decongest site visitors at TRC junction
Traders, transporters, and commuters have all been up in arms against the toll tax. A team of traders and transporters on Wednesday submitted a memorandum to the Deputy Commissioner Anantnag demanding rollback of the toll tax. The two prime regional parties, National Meeting and the PDP, also demanded rollback of the tax. NC termed the move “unfair and unjust” when the PDP reported this kind of a measure would hit the currently bleeding economy of the state.
The governor inagurated the grade Separator which was conceived all through the Targeted visitors Surveys done for the preparation of Detailed Mobility System for Srinagar Town in the calendar year 2013, has been constructed by the Financial Reconstruction Agency, with the aim to decongest the site visitors at the TRC Junction.
The key Limb of this Quality Separator is from Sonawar to Linz side (405 metres) and it has one more diversion- J&K Lender Limb (225 metres) so that commuters who go to M.A. Road from Sonawar can use the Limb to right access the M.A. Road.
Congratulating the executing companies, Malik reported that this new infrastructure will facilitate the commuters in Srinagar to excellent extent and regulate the targeted visitors movement at the ever occupied TRC Junction.
