Vedike activists protest against NICE

Staff Reporter


‘Company should stop collecting toll till the completion of the project’


BANGALORE: Karnataka Rakshana Vedike activists staged a demonstration on the Bangalore-Mysore Infrastructure Corridor (BMIC) near Madavara toll-gate and urged the State Government to take action against Nandi Infrastructure Corridor Enterprises (NICE).

The protesters blocked the road for some time saying local people should not be charged any toll to use the road and that NICE should stop collecting toll from others till the completion of the project.

They accused the company of cheating those who lost their land for the project by not fulfilling its commitment to provide alternative sites and employment to them.

V.S. Shridhar, a vedike leader, demanded that NICE construct service roads to all adjacent villages.

Several protests have been held against NICE since the company started collecting toll from road users.
