Jammu, December 15

A joint delegation of traders and hotels and restaurant owners of Katra said the Ban toll plaza was not issuing free passes to those who reside within 20 km of radius.

Hotel & Restaurant Association president Rakesh Wazir along with others met Jammu Divisional Commissioner Ramesh Kumar and apprised him about the situation.

Wazir said that keeping aside all the previous orders issued from time to time, wherein areas falling within 20 km distance of the toll plaza on NHAI are issued local passes, the contractor was not following the same.

Ban toll plaza is located on the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway and pilgrims to Vaishno Devi have to pass through here.

The Divisional Commissioner listened to the demands and said that he would take appropriate action in this regard.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
