Sambalpur: Dadagiri at the Nil Dunguri Toll Gate, not leaving Sambalpur vehicle
Sambalpur: The people of Sambalpur will not pay at the toll gate in Nil Dunguri. They will be left in the third line. For this, you have to register only once. Now the Nil dunguri toll gate staff are doing dadagiri by forgetting all the rules. The organization threatened the people. It has been accused of extorting taxes from local people. People are being harassed repeatedly. The most important incident is that the overloaded vehicle is deliberately leaving the road. Some of the employees of the company who deal with unscrupulous people are releasing the overloaded vehicles. Such activities are being done by charging a large sum of money from them.
- Money is going to whose pocket for overloading vehicles?
- Demand to verify CCTV and weighing machine records
As per the National Highway Authority rules, overloaded vehicles cannot be left at any tollgate. A vehicle cannot pass the toll gate until the vehicle and its load are unloaded. However, it is alleged that all the overloading vehicles are passed through the toll gate by making financial transactions against this law. The departmental officers also have information about this. But no one opened their mouths. A person from that area said this caused hardship to the people, including the reform workers and vehicle owners. Accidents are a regular occurrence for overloading vehicles, resulting in the loss of many lives. It is completely illegal to do so. Because the National Highways Authority has made this law to keep the roads safe and to protect people’s lives. Overloading problems pose human risks. So here is the gap to test overloading. But without doing this, the overloaded vehicle is being left behind. Especially the big traffic coming at night is taking advantage of this. It is said that their owner has made all the arrangements for the big boys working in this company. Therefore, it is alleged that the overloading vehicle is being crossed knowingly. Therefore, there is a demand to check the CCTV footage and records of the weighing machine. No response could be obtained from NHAI which addressed this.
