DND Flyway mgmt to give details of additional tax to DM

At a meeting with the DM and Bhartiya Kisan Union leaders, DND officials said they would submit the details to the DM about additional tax collected from November 9 to November 17.

The management had hiked the toll on Delhi-Noida-Direct flyway from Rs 22 to Rs 25 on November 9 midnight and following protests, rolled it back on November 17 midnight.

BKU was to hold protest at DND Flyway today demanding that it be made toll-free, but it shelved the plan after its state-level leaders had talks with government officials over toll roads all over the state.

BKU leader Rakesh Tikait said the DND management has collected toll more than the amount spent on construction of the flyway and demanded that it should be made toll free.

When DND officials refused to accept the demand, BKU leaders asked details about the extra money collected during the period of hike.

BKU demanded that the extra money should be deposited in DM relief fund.

Tikait said after this meeting, he would meet Chief Minister on December 13.
