INLD workers protest at Faridabad toll plaza

Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) workers today protested here against Haryana government's decision to hike rates at all toll plazas on roads leading to Gurgaon.

The protest led by INLD leader Vikas Chaudhary, went on for an hour at a toll plaza here, during which the vehicles passed through without paying any toll fee.

The Hooda government had recently promised to relieve the citizens of toll tax, but instead it has hiked it by Rs 5-7 and increased the burden of the citizens here, Chaudhary said, adding the decision was "dictatorial".

The plaza officials informed police which reached the spot and tried to reason out with the protestors, police said, adding, INLD workers did not budge and demanded to speak with the district administration.
 

They were later pacified after the police assured that their demands will be taken up to the district administration and the state government.
