CPI(M) objects to NHAI collecting toll fee at Nathampatti without completing Tirumangalam-Therkku Venganallur highway
The CPI(M) party is protesting the NHAI's decision to begin toll collection on a highway in Tamil Nadu before construction is fully completed. They argue that the incomplete infrastructure and the proximity of the new toll plaza to an existing one violate official regulations.

Communist Party of India (Marxist) has opposed the move by NHAI in starting toll collection on Tirumangalam-Therkku Venganallur fourway highway at Nathampatti toll plaza even as the road widening work remained incomplete for some 35 km between Tirumangalam and Vadugapatti.
