JAMMU, May 21: A meeting of All Jammu and Kashmir Plus 2 Officers Association was held under the chairmanship of Dr P P Raina for seeking Governor’s intervention to exempt the entry toll tax for all the employees who daily attend duties by passing through the Toll Ban Plaza at Ban Nagrota, Jammu.
The Association observed that so many employees of School Education Department, Health, Higher Education, Horticulture, Agriculture, Sericulture, Revenue, MES and other departments have to bear this burden of Rs 200 approx daily while passing on either side of Ban Toll Plaza. “Not only the Government employees but also many employees of private sector and even students have to bear this burden unnecessarily,” the meet added.
“No doubt some areas have been covered upto 10 kms for monthly passes but the areas outside Nagrota like Narwal , Channi Himat, Nanak Nagar ,Gandhi Nagar, Satwari ,Trikuta Nagar and other areas are not granted the passes facility. A large number of employees even from Samba, Kathua, Udhampur, Reasi etc have to cross this toll tax post daily and pay this tax,” the Association said while reiterating the demand for exemption to all the employees from this tax.
The meeting was attended by all the executive members of the Association, including Rajeev Sharma, Narinder Kumar Sharma, Sanjeev Kumar Pandita, Sanjeev Kumar, Kapil Banotra Suresh Kumar, Raj Kumar, Dr Arshdeep Singh, Dr Ashutosh, Balwant Sharma and others.
