Toll plaza along Maneru River: HC notice to panchayat raj dept

Hyderabad: The Telangana High Court has issued directions to the commissioner of the state panchayat raj and rural development, to decide in six weeks on the removal of the toll plaza/check post on the riverine side of Maneru River, which is located at Odedu village, Mutharam mandal, Peddapalli district and Garmillapalli village, Tekumatla mandal in Jayashankar Bhupalpally district.

The division bench, headed by Chief Justice Alok Aradhe, was dealing with a PIL complaining that authorities were not removing the illegal toll plaza/check post. It was set up without any permission from the Union government and the state R&B department, which is illegal, arbitrary, unconstitutional and in violation of the principles of natural justice, the PIL said.
