Passengers Blamed Traffic Department for Mess
SNS KASHMIR
SRINAGAR, MARCH 27:
Only after a week since the Traffic department announced the 19% hike in fare, the drivers especially the small passengers vehicles Sumo and Tavera drivers are looting the passengers as they are receiving the fare from them as per their will hence violating all the laid down guidelines of the traffic department.
One of the commuter namely Rayees Ahmad, while talking to CNS said, “ when I leave for Srinagar through Lasjan Road, I am forced to pay 4o Rs as fine and when i return from Srinagar, I have to pay only 35rs, that is 5 Rs less than the arrival fare and its out of logic to me” he said agitatedly.
Shameema Akhtar, another commuter a private teacher by profession said, “fare from Khrew to Pampore was 30 Rupees and 5 rupees were increase as per new rule, same fare was from Pampore to Awantipora, how can they increase 10 Rs double than other routes” she questioned.
Despite repeated requests by general masses to the traffic department to intervene in the matter, the department seems to be in deep slumber.
“They hardly care about the problems of people” said one of the aggrieved commuters. (CNS)
