DMK MP Calls for Toll Fee Reduction

In a recent appeal, DMK MP urged the government to implement a 60% reduction in the excessive toll fees charged at the Paranur Plaza toll booth in Tamil Nadu. The MP highlighted concerns from local commuters and businesses regarding the financial burden imposed by the current toll rates, which he described as excessive and unreasonable.

The request aims to alleviate the financial strain on daily travelers and promote smoother traffic flow in the area. The MP emphasized the need for equitable toll rates that consider the economic realities faced by local residents. By reducing toll fees, the government would not only support the local economy but also encourage increased road usage, potentially boosting business in surrounding regions.

The MP's initiative reflects growing public sentiment against high toll charges, and he is advocating for a fairer toll system that prioritizes the needs of the community.
