Various special squads of Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP) have been constituted to monitor the bus & wagon stands in the capital city and impose fine upon those transporters who would be found involved in overloading and charging extra fares to the passengers on the occasion of Eid-ul-Azha.
The ITP has also provided numbers to facilitate those passengers who face any illegal activity on part of the transporters would be able to contact and file their complaints against the relevant transporters. These numbers are 051-9230773 and 051-9263183-5, says a press release issued here on Friday.
SSP Traffic Malik Matloob Ahmad said if the transporters charge extra fares, these squads would take action to return back the money to the passengers who should have a congenial environment to go to their hometowns to spend Eid days.
"Banners, streamers and notices warning transporters of overcharging and overloading with strong punitive measures have been placed at all bus & wagon stands so if the transporters carry out any illegal activity, then the passengers should not hesitate and inform us about it," he said. He said the checking would be carried out randomly at different places and strict action would be taken on the spot and excess fare would be returned to the passengers.-PR
