Mysuru/Srirangapatna: Tourists visiting the Krishna Raja Sagar (KRS) Dam in Srirangapatna Taluk of Mandya District will continue to be charged a toll for one more year to access the 650-metre bridge, as the Cauvery Neeravari Nigam Limited (CNNL) has not yet recovered the construction costs of the bridge.
The toll is applicable to all vehicles accessing the KRS Reservoir via the bridge, which was constructed in 2001 at an estimated cost of Rs. 18 crore. Despite the CNNL initiating toll collection since 2001, only Rs. 16.02 crore has been recovered thus far over the span of 22 years.
