Sindh launches crackdown on transporters overcharging passenger

Listen to article The Sindh government has launched a strict crackdown on transporters charging excessive fares from passengers returning home after Eidul Fitr holidays. "Strong action is being taken against transporters illegally collecting extra fares," said Sindh minister Sharjeel Memon. The operations are being carried out in coordination with district administrations, police, and the National Highway and Motorway Police. He said that protecting public rights is the government's top priority and no bus, coach, or transport service will be allowed to demand unjustified fare hikes. The transport department has already issued strict instructions to all officers to monitor fares closely and take immediate action against any violations. Sharjeel Memon added that the Sindh government will not tolerate any form of exploitation of citizens. "If any transporter is found overcharging passengers, strict legal action will be taken," he stated. He further explained that the campaign aims to relieve citizens from the burden of unjust fare hikes and to ensure a more transparent and organised transport system. Previously, the Sindh government cancelled the holidays of all officers and staff of the transport department, ensuring they remain on duty throughout the festive period. Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon announced the decision, stating that transport officials will monitor fares as part of a province-wide crackdown against transporters charging excessive rates.
