Strict action was taken against transporters who tried to rob students, laborers, and middle-class government and private employees.
On this occasion, Secretary RTA Saleem Memon said that most of the passengers in this operation were laborers working in plumbing, painting, and mechanical factories. Saleem Memon told the media that if these laborers start returning after 3 days of Eid, the transporters who rob the public will have to face Saleem Memon.
They will continue to take action on a war footing against the capitalists who exploit the poor people.
Those who do not return the excess fare will be arrested on the spot and an FIR will be registered against the bus owners and the route permits will be canceled, which clearly reduces the value of the vehicle.
The Secretary RTA further said that traffic police officers are busy in operations at Badin Bus Stop and National Highway in the city, while they themselves are monitoring the vehicles on the long route.
