Public block Tirumangalam toll plaza

The decry collection of fee from all vehicle users

MADURAI

Vehicular movement on the arterial four-way lane connecting Madurai and Virudhunagar was hit after many local residents from Tirumangalam, taxi and autorickshaw drivers, lorry operators and others blocked the toll fee plaza on Saturday.

Demanding the authorities to ensure a court directive that the local vehicle users (Tirumangalam Town) were allowed to pass the toll fee plaza without payment, the agitators claimed that the plaza operators, however, insisted on collection of money from all vehicle users passing the point. It may be recalled that the plaza was inaugurated 12 years ago.
