As the toll plaza at Lakhanpur begins its functioning on Tuesday, a massive protest was staged by the activists of various political parties and other organizations including the Congress, the Panthers Party and the Youth Federation.
Amid huge police bandobast, the functioning of toll plaza was inaugurated earlier in the morning. A human barrier was created by the police to stop the activists from proceeding towards the toll plaza to cross it symbolically without paying the toll besides preventing them to cause any damage to the toll plaza structure.

While the functioning of the toll post was inaugurated with performance of traditional prayers, and staff starting collecting toll from the vehicles entering the UT from Punjab side, the protesting activists had started gathering since 11 am and later staged a dharna opposite the plaza.
Among others, protesting at the toll plaza, the prominent ones included: former MLC Subhash Gupta, former MLA Girdahri Lal Chalotra, Pankaj Dogra, Congress activist Khusboo Bhagat, Panthers Party leader Robbin Sharma, and Youth Federation leader Sunny Sharma.
