It is respectfully brought to the attention of the authorities that taxi drivers operating on the Chitral to Bumburate route are charging excessive fares from passengers. According to the fare fixed by the additional deputy Commissioner and Traffic authorities of Lower Chitral, the official fare from Chitral to Bumburate is 420 rupees for dadson, land cruiser,jeep and flying coach. However, it is very unfortunate that many drivers are demanding 600 rupees from poor passengers, especially during the holy month of Ramadan. This practice is unfair and places an additional burden on people who are already facing financial difficulties. Therefore, it is humbly requested that the Deputy Commissioner of Lower Chitral take immediate notice of this issue and take strict action against those drivers who are violating the officially approved fares, so that justice can be ensured and the public may get relief.
