Members of the Muslim Youth League blocked the Kozhikode-Palakkad National Highway 966 at Mailampulli on Wednesday, September 16, to protest the construction of a toll booth they claim would exacerbate safety issues on the newly expanded road
On September 16, the Muslim Youth League staged a protest against the construction of a toll booth on the Kozhikode-Palakkad National Highway 966 near Mundur in Kozhikode district. A group of league workers, led by Kongad constituency unit members and district Youth League general secretary Riyas Nalakkath, marched from Mailampulli bazaar to the construction site and blocked the highway.
The protesters, who sat on the road and staged a blockade, raised slogans against the toll booth. District Youth League general secretary Riyas Nalakkath addressed the gathering, expressing concern that the highway had been expanded without proper planning, resulting in frequent accidents and deaths. He vowed to continue the protest until the toll booth construction was halted.
Notable speakers at the protest included constituency president Mohammedali Karimba, district office-bearers Ashraf Vazhamburam and Kadar Ponnankode, and working committee members Irshad and Naseeb. Noufal C.P., district general secretary, welcomed the attendees.
