Mysuru, Oct. 22 -- Former Mysuru Mayor B.K. Prakash has strongly opposed toll collection on Mysuru-Nanjangud Road (NH 766).

Addressing a press meet here yesterday, Prakash maintained that the Government's move to collect toll from vehicles on Mysuru-Nanjangud Road and Mysuru-T.Narasipur Road, which provide a crucial link to the city, was not right.

Condemning the plan of the authorities to collect toll from vehicles on the ever-busy Mysuru-Nanjangud Road in the first stage, the former Mayor claimed that plans were also afoot to collect toll on Gundlupet and T.Narasipur Roads in a later stage.
