      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has ordered a strict crackdown on overcharging, overloading and unfit public transport vehicles ahead of Eid al-Azha to ensure safe and affordable travel for passengers across the province.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to an official statement, the chief minister directed authorities to intensify inspections at bus terminals and public transport facilities during the Eid holidays.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;CM Maryam instructed all deputy commissioners and district police officers to ensure indiscriminate action against transporters involved in overcharging passengers, overloading vehicles or operating unfit buses.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She also ordered that fare lists be prominently displayed at every bus and terminal to prevent transport operators from charging passengers above the approved rates.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The chief minister directed authorities to cancel route permits of buses involved in overcharging, along with licences of the concerned bus stands.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;CM Maryam further ordered the immediate suspension of transport vehicles operating without fitness certificates during the Eid period and stressed strict enforcement of rules against overloading.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She also instructed officials to ensure the provision of cold drinking water and other basic facilities for passengers at bus terminals across the province.&lt;/p&gt;
