Former MLA blames State Govt., seeks removal of Kappalur toll plaza
Madurai Former Minister and Tirumangalam MLA R.B. Udhayakumar was arrested when he attempted to take a signature campaign and hunger strike at Kappalur seeking to remove the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) toll plaza at Kappalur on Madurai-Virudhunagar highway, on Monday.
The All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam MLA wanted the State Government to ensure that Kappalur toll plaza should be included in the list of toll plazas in the State that needed to be removed for violating minimum distance norms between two toll plazas.
"Kappalur is the gateway to southern districts and the location of the toll plaza brings more and more problems every day. When AIADMK was in power, we made an arrangement wherein the NHAI issued identity cards for local vehicles of Tirumangalam," Mr. Udhayakumar said.
Using the identity card, the farmers, industrial units and cab operators were allowed unlimited number of passengers without any toll charge.
Chief Minister M.K. Stalin had promised in the election manifesto that efforts would be taken to remove the toll plaza.
However, things have become worse now, the AIADMK district secretary said.
