Dera Ismail Khan, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 10th Apr, 2026) Paharpur Tehsil administration, in collaboration with the Regional Transport Authority (RTA), carried out a joint operation against overcharging by transporters at the Paharpur bus stand.
The action was conducted under the supervision of Assistant Commissioner Paharpur Dr Hamid, with the participation of the Tehsildar Paharpur and the Secretary RTA.

A revised fare schedule for three routes was proposed and approved on the spot by the Secretary RTA, who also issued formal directives for its immediate implementation.
The Assistant Commissioner directed officials of the Tehsil Municipal Administration (TMA) to prominently display the updated fare list at the bus stand to ensure public awareness and transparency.
