Mangaluru: Social activist Asif Apatbandhava-led protest demanding the dismantling of the “illegally” erected tollgate at NITK on National Highway-66 entered its fifth day on Friday, February 11.

Though several protests have been held in the past demanding closure or merger of the NITK toll gate with the one at Hejamady, the government has not yet taken any action on the issue.

On Thursday, Asif sat in a slush-filled pit to draw the attention of concerned authorities. He has said that the protest has been garnering support from various organizations and will continue till the toll gate is closed.

He even warned of intensifying the protest in the coming days if their demands were not met.
