Karachi – Web Desk : The Government of Sindh has launched a campaign against transporters charging excessive fares from passengers ahead of Eid al-Fitr.
Senior provincial minister Sharjeel Inam Memon directed authorities to take strict and indiscriminate action against transport operators found overcharging travelers during the holiday season.
According to official instructions, police, district administrations, the National Highway Authority (NHA), traffic police and transport departments have been ordered to monitor fares within their jurisdictions and initiate immediate action against violators.
