Residents of Venkatagirikota Burdened by Surrounding Toll Plazas

Venkatagirikota, a town near the Karnataka border, is surrounded by four toll plazas.

Locals have to pay full toll charges even for short trips because they can't get toll passes for nearby plazas.

They find it hard to apply for passes due to multiple plazas and extra checks.

The fees range from ₹75 to ₹185 per car, which is a big expense for short trips.

Residents want the highway authorities to change the toll policy to help them out.
