Kohat: Kohat Traffic Police launched a crackdown on Suzuki drivers accused of overcharging passengers, impounding several vehicles during an enforcement operation, officials said on Saturday.
Following the action, representatives of the Suzuki Union and drivers operating on the Kamal Khel and Shadi Khel routes met Traffic In-charge Arab Jan to discuss complaints regarding excessive fares and ensure compliance with government regulations.
During the meeting, Arab Jan directed all drivers to strictly adhere to the government-approved fare schedule and warned that charging passengers above the notified rates would invite legal action. He said the traffic police would continue monitoring public transport to protect commuters from exploitation.
Union representatives and drivers assured the traffic authorities that they would fully comply with the official fare structure in the future and pledged not to overcharge passengers, according to officials.
