Secretary General of Jatri Kalyan Samity Mozammel Hoque Chowdhury has alleged that transport owners and workers were overcharging the passengers, defying the government-fixed fare rates. "Passengers are often harassed and become victims of physical assaults by transport workers," he said while speaking at a press briefing organised by Jatri Kalyan Samity at Dhaka Reporters Unity on Thursday protesting increased transport fares.
