Toll collectionReshma Shetty, member, said that it was wrong to set up a toll gate at Belman to collect toll for a State Highway. Hegde, officer from the Public Works Department, said that the project of widening the Karkala-Padubidri State Highway was done under the Karnataka State Highways Improvement Project (KSHIP). Marali Pratap Hegde, member, said that the State government had given its nod to the creation of Hebri taluk. But the officers should take the opinion of the gram panchayats concerned on whether they wished to remain in Kundapur taluk or join the new taluk. The House was informed that the views of the gram panchayats would be ascertained.
