JAMMU, Mar 31: National Conference MLA Devender Singh Rana today targeted the BJP Ministers in the Government saying they should awake their conscious and get the decision of setting up of Toll Plaza at Ban Talab on Jammu-Srinagar National Highway reversed.
Raising the issue during Zero Hour in the Assembly, Rana wondered why the BJP Ministers were silent on Toll Plaza.
“The BJP had created massive uproar in the State when some tax was imposed on Amarnath yatris. Now when, all Mata Vaishno Devi ji pilgrims and other people had to pay toll at Ban Talab, the BJP is silent only because their MLAs have become Ministers in the Government,” he said and called upon the BJP MLAs to awake their conscious and oppose the Toll Plaza.
Moreover, Rana said, the Toll Plaza has been set up for Jammu-Srinagar National Highway, which has not been completed so far. The work has been completed only up to Udhampur, he added.
The NC MLA from Nagrota said the people travelling to Doda, Udhampur, Ramban, Banihal, Patnitop etc were also being charged Toll at Ban Talab while it was meant for Jammu-Srinagar National Highway.
Demanding that Toll Plaza should be abolished immediately, Rana said even the local people travelling from Jammu and returning were also being charged toll.
However, there was no response from the Government on the charges of Rana.
