Peshawar Division Commissioner Riaz Khan Mehsud directed on Friday the district administrations to establish checking points at bus terminals and entry and exit points of the city to prevent excessive fare collection on the eve of Eidul Fitr.

He directed the deputy commissioners of all five districts of Peshawar Division including Peshawar, Nowshera, Charsadda, Mohmand and Khyber to prevent the collection of fares over the transport fares set by the government.

Mehsud said the owners of transport charging more than the official fare should be sent to jail.

He issued these orders in light of the instructions of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur.

The commissioner said that he would visit the city and review the situation. He also issued orders to the regional transport authority secretary to form teams for the purpose.
