The National Highways and Motorway Police (NHMP) has announced a nationwide crackdown on overcharging and overloading by public transport operators ahead of the busy Eid ul Fitr travel season.
Inspector General NHMP Sultan Ahmed Chaudhry has directed officers to remain on high alert and utilize all available resources to ensure smooth traffic flow and facilitate commuters traveling to their hometowns during the holidays.
As part of the plan, strict monitoring of public transport vehicles will be carried out to ensure that operators adhere to government-approved fares. Authorities warned that any violations, including overcharging passengers or overloading vehicles, will result in legal action.
Increased checking has also been ordered at transport terminals and along major highways to enforce safety regulations. Transport companies have been instructed to maintain vehicle fitness standards and strictly avoid carrying passengers beyond capacity.
To manage the expected surge in traffic, patrolling has been intensified across motorways and national highways, with additional personnel deployed at key نقاط to reduce congestion and minimize accidents.
The NHMP said these measures aim to ensure safe, comfortable, and hassle-free travel for citizens during Eid, urging commuters to follow traffic rules, avoid overspeeding, and cooperate with authorities for a safer journey.
