KARACHI: Commissioner Shoaib Ahmed Siddiqui has initiated action against intercity transporters violating the rules. Regional Transport Authority secretary Manshad Ali and Provincial Transport Authority secretary Ghazanfar Ali has arrested three transporters and impounded six vehicles.
Similarly, four intercity vans were confiscated and two transporters were held and charged Rs25,000 as fine near Taj Complex, Saddar. In another crackdown at alKaram Square, where an illegal junction of intercity buses was being operated, a member was arrested and the junction sealed. However, the owner of the junction managed to flee.
Siddiqui was of the opinion that by using these substandard compressed natural gas (CNG) cylinders, the transporters are not only violating the law but also putting the lives of the passengers at risk. “These cylinders have become walking bombs.”
