He directed the officials to pay daily visits to different bus terminals, coaching stands and take immediate stern action against drivers who overcharge passengers, ensuring that the benefits of reduced petroleum prices are passed on to the general population. In alignment with the caretaker provincial government\u2019s special instructions and the guidance of the Special Assistant for Transport, the Provincial Transport Authority and Regional Transport Authority have launched an extensive operation in collaboration with the district administration. They have initiated visits to locations such as T-road and others, commencing legal proceedings against those found overcharging passengers. APP<br \/>\nThe Motor Vehicle Examiner in Peshawar, along with Traffic Inspection Staff (TIS), has been promptly addressing this issue by issuing challans to several drivers who have been overcharging passengers. Authorities are now instructed to perform daily inspections at transport bases and bus terminals, scrutinizing fare collection from passengers. Drivers engaged in overcharging will face route permit suspension, and vehicle owners will be subjected to fines.<br \/>\nEmphasizing the caretaker provincial government\u2019s commitment to extending the benefits of reduced fuel prices to the public, Zafarullah Khan Umarzai stressed that there should be no leniency in dealing with those who charge excessive fares; they must be met with strong measures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PESHAWAR: Zafarullah Khan Umarzai, Special Assistant to the Caretaker Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa for Transport and Housing has issued clear directives for transport officials to take immediate action against those overcharging the passengers.
