Shifting of minibus stand urged
PESHAWAR, Dec 15: The Local Minibus Owners Association (LMOA) has asked the government to get them rid of the servitude of the bus stand owners, “who eat up millions of rupees each year with the connivance of local police.”
Speaking to minibus owners at the Haji Camp bus stand, association president Abdul Fatah Khwaja claimed that the police and bus stand owners ate up Rs12 to Rs15 million revenue of Peshawar Town 1 each year.
A high-ranking police official had established a private bus stand (Kamboh Adda) for the last 15 years and did not pay any revenue to the Peshawar Town 1 administration, he added.
The police forced the minibus owners to use Kamboh bus stand, which had no legal position. “If they refuse to do so, the police impound their vehicles,” he said.
