Guwahati: Former Assam chief minister Tarun Gogoi on Thursday said setting up of a toll gate on National Highway 37 at Raha in Assam's Nagaon district is "unjust" and demanded the removal of all toll gates from the Northeast.

"The Centre has withdrawn the special status category of Assam. It talks of concern for development of the Northeast. If you are really concerned about the region then remove all the toll gates. Setting up of the Raha toll gate is unjust," said Gogoi.

The NHAI on July 12 reopened the Raha toll gate which was closed in 2014 when protesters demolished its infrastructure.
