In a handout issued here on Monday, it was stated that Eid-ul-Fitr is commencing within three weeks and people travel to their native areas to celebrate Eid. But there is a trend during this period that the transporters increase fare at their own level causing extra burden on the travelers.

The Department has directed to the quarters concerned to constitute monitoring committees to check fares rather one week before Eid holidays to check the violators who are charging extra fare against the fixed fare by the Government and report be sent on daily basis to the department.
