Mangaluru, Jan 1: Led by two local MLAs belonging to Bharatiya Janata Party, dozens of people today forcibly stopped toll fee collection at Talapady toll gate on the outskirts of the city allowing vehicles plying between Karnataka and Kerala on the national highway 66 to travel without paying any fee for some time.
Mangaluru City South MLA D Vedavyasa Kamath and Mangaluru City North MLA Y Bharat Shetty, who led the workers, said that the Navayuga Udupi Tollway Pvt. Ltd. (NUTPL), the concessionaire of the about 90-km-long highway widening project between Talapady and Kundapura in Karnataka, had failed to complete the project since over a decade.
The service roads and two flyovers under the project remained uncompleted. Hence motorists were facing a hardship. Notwithstanding Nalin Kumar Kateel, Dakshina Kannada MP, arranging ₹56 crore loan to the NUTPL through Axis Bank to complete the prominent Pumpwell flyover in the city, the company had failed to complete it.
The MLAs said that they stopped the toll collection as a symbolic protest to bring pressure on the company to complete the project within this month.
The BJP workers who gathered near the toll gate around 7.30 a.m. forcibly removed the barricades and made the vehicles ply without paying the fee. The workers of the company managing the toll booth did not resist.
The BJP workers said that vehicles would ply without paying toll till about 6 p.m. If the company resumed the collection during the day on Wednesday, the party workers would again forcibly stop it on Thursday, they said.
Shivaprasad Rai, in-charge of toll collection of the company at Talapady, Hejmady and Sasthana on the same highway told The Hindu that the NUTPL collected about ₹7 lakh as toll fee daily at Talapady from over 12,000 vehicles. The loss on Wednesday could be about ₹4 lakh.
The project is being implemented under build, operate and transfer basis.
Morena's Khedakala village made headlines after the people of Muslim community here gave land to Hindus to build 'Sri Ram Janki Temple' in the village.

99% Muslims over all do all haram business.... Monarch is prohibited.. still saudi has monarchism ..... Idol worship is haram... u will find highest darga in India...... Interest is haram... 90% of bank borrowers and lenders are muslims..... highest default and interest payers in bank are muslims ... are Muslims..... ... my dear brothers before saying haram and halal.. first lets be perfect and then talk about haram and halal.....
#ummar,
Idol worshiping is forbidden in Islam, to support it or fecilitate it by any of the way is forbidden or it is like supporting idolatery,,,
Regarding your examples, prayer by Khalifa Umer or any muslim , at any place of clean is allowed , if there is no any idolatery supported images or any articles....and same way in islam , it is forbidden to harm any non muslim worshiping places...as mentioned by your second example...
This is surely Interest money, Bank Interest is Haram in Islam, Many Muslims have disputed land in their posses. these land either they have to give on charity or live for the Govt. So better to give to Ram Temple since Ram temple is very less in our country comparing to Snake temple and Monkey temple...Useless Muslims who did this all of them reserved places in hell surely Almighty Allah will punish them severely Insha Allah...!!!
NA TASYA PRATIMA ASTI... For Sure it means there is no image of GOD.
Ram is a HUMAN and Human has a picture. And U go against the VEDAS.
I think this guy want to deviate the locals & himself far from the TRUE GOD, who says God forgives every SIN except associating PARTNERs with him.
May ALLAH protect us from associating PARTNER with him knowingly & unknowingly.
