The Magic and sumo drivers plying on Kulgam roads are charging overate from passengers since last over one week causing inconvenience to travelers.

Locals told The Kashmiriyat that Magic and sumo drivers are charging double fares from passengers while the government had earlier decided to increase the fare charge by only 30 percent.

“Earlier from Kulgam to Nihama Magic and sumo drivers would charge us 30 rupees, but now they are charging  50 rupees from passenger and that too under the nose of the local administration”, said Zubair Ahmed, a local.

“From Kulgam to Damhal , we used to pay 40  rupees but since the sumo’s are back during the pandemic, the drivers are charging double and there is no SOP maintained by them”, said Shahid Hussain.

 He added, “The administration should look into the matter.

And, we know, transporters have suffered huge economic loss, but charging overate does not make any sense while the government has earlier asked them to increase the rate by just 30 percent”.

The locals requested Assistant Regional Transport Officer Kulgam to take action against those who are not following the guidelines issued by the department, so that the general public won’t suffer.
