NICE Tolls Raised in Bangalore

Is it fair to increase the toll rates in Bangalore?

Bangalore is a Metro city. It was shocking news to hear that the rates are raised suddenly. was it really required to raise the toll rates ? I don't think so it was really required. This does not adds to the development of the government. There are many tolls in Bangalore so there is not require to raise the tolls immediately. this will affects the growth of the country. Inflation also raises to the peak. there is a raise in prices in everything in recent times. but the value of that is still the same. There are many ditches still under construction in few NICE roads which has to be repaired. There was no reason to raise the tolls suddenly and make the people burden.

As per the policy of the government, increasing the tolls is not only remedy to make more profits. Government should collect the tolls and the policy should be like that. As per the BOOT(Build Own Operate Transfer) policy of PPP this is not fair to transfer burden on the local people. and NICE roads is to travel for all common men in Bangalore not to travel only for rich people.

Let us make it accessible for every one. It is not good to put more charges and which intern helps in increasing Black money which really affects the growth of the country. I am still not satisfied with the Policy that they have come across. Instead of BOOT they could have used BOT where the rights to operate by the government than a private firm. We ask government to collect taxes and improve infrastructure not a private firm. So for any private firm there is no rights to ask more toll by a common people.

India is a poor country it cannot be compared with USA. where there is no government participation in any of the infrastructure. And it could be suitable there as the standard of living is high. But India is a poor country and still 50% of the departments are under government. the standard of living of the people is very low in our country. Per capita income of India is Rs. 44345 per year. But it is an average per year through out the country. Will a common man could afford if they raise the rates to 50% hike? Is it really fair enough to impose the fairs on a common man. Will government should have taken a different decision in accepting the offer?

Still there is a lot of questions to be asked. But finally it definitely affect the growth of Indian economy. So please people fight for this. if people come together then we could fight and stop this looting from a common man (AAM ADMI)
