Jammu, October 12, 2019:- JKPCC has strongly criticized the government for installation of another toll plaza at Sarore on Jammu-Lakhanpur highway, while third one is in the pipeline on this route amounts to citizens over taxing the people in the already economically distressed atmosphere in the cournty.
Terming it unjustified and unfair, JKPCC said unfortunately this has been done by the party which opposed it few years back in opposition terming it ‘Jazia; on pilgrims. It was abandoned by the UPA government on public demand but now no one listens the voice of common people in the new model of democracy. Is it not ‘Jazia’ besides being unjust now, questioned Congress to BJP, stating that it exposes the duplicity of BJP.
The JKPCC said already people are additionally taxed at Lakhanpur, despite slogan of one nation-one tax. Three toll plaza on the highway which is not only route of pilgrims but life line to the economy of the state especially Jammu region, is the beautiful gift of the BJP to the people who have given them huge mandate. Party termed these steps as insensitive and without bothering for the woes of the common people.
