In a proactive measure to alleviate financial strain on Punjab residents, interim Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi has mandated Deputy Commissioners to promptly lower intercity transport fares in response to recent declines in diesel prices. This strategic move aligns with the government’s dedication to passing on the benefits of reduced petroleum product prices directly to the citizens.
CM Naqvi underscores the significance of reducing intercity transport costs to ease the financial burden on the common man, particularly during challenging economic times. In a statement released today, Naqvi highlights the government’s commitment to prioritizing the welfare of the people and ensuring that the advantages of declining fuel prices directly impact transportation expenses.
All Deputy Commissioners have given a strict deadline to convey the revised fare structures to transporters by tonight. The Chief Minister emphasizes swift and comprehensive action against transporters failing to comply with the directive, stating that non-compliance will not be tolerate.
“Intercity transport fares should be reduce to give relief to the common man,” says CM Naqvi. He further asserts that the government is resolute in taking indiscriminate action against any transporters found violating the order.
This initiative expected to have an immediate impact on the cost of living for residents, making transportation more affordable and accessible. It underscores the government’s commitment to ensuring that economic improvements, such as the reduction in diesel prices, translate into tangible advantages for the public. This move aligns with the government’s dedication to providing relief to citizens and promoting accessible and affordable transportation in Punjab.
