UDF and Congress Protest Toll Collection at Pantheerankavu Toll Plaza in Kozhikode

The United Democratic Front (UDF) and Congress workers in Kozhikode protested against toll collection at the Pantheerankavu toll plaza on NH-66, citing incomplete service road and highway work. Leaders, including District Congress Committee president K. Praveenkumar, demanded exemption for local residents until construction is finished. The protests led to confrontations with police, resulting in arrests. The Congress stated it supports toll collection but opposes its current implementation without completed infrastructure.
