The talks between the delegation of Delhi villagers led by Palam 360 Khap chief Surender Solanki and the Centre on Wednesday on the demand for toll tax waiver at UER 2 failed to reach consensus, the Khap chief declared.
He informed that the committee of villagers formed at the Mahapanchayat on September 21 met Union Minister of State Harsh Malhotra and Delhi MPs on Wednesday regarding their demand for the toll tax waiver for the national capital’s villages along UER-2. The villagers sought a resolution on the issue by the Centre. However, after the meeting, Solanki said the talks were not fruitful as the government has not agreed to waive off the toll tax for any of the Delhi villages for now and are suggesting a monthly pass option.

On September 21, when two local MLAs had met the villagers during the Mahapanchayat held at Bakkarwala village near the toll plaza, it was decided that the rural representatives appointed by Mahapanchayat will meet the concerned Central minister of state and MPs on Wednesday.
Solanki now says the villagers can again plan for Chakka Jam on the UER-2 Mundka Bakkarwala toll to step up their protest until their demands are met.
The delegation of the villagers included Chaudhary Dhara Singh, from Bawana village, Anar Singh, Tikri village, Samundar Singh, Karala village, Mukhtyar Singh, Bakkarwala village and Surender Lakra from Mundka village.
