Pakistan Motorway Rest Stops Targeted in Price Gouging Crackdown

National Highway Authority Cracks Down on Overpricing at Motorway Rest Areas in Pakistan Pakistan's National Highway Authority (NHA) has launched a crackdown on businesses operating at motorway rest areas across the country. The initiative aims to address widespread complaints about overcharging and the sale of low-quality goods. The NHA, in collaboration with the Motorway Police, is conducting surprise inspections at various rest stops. "We've received numerous complaints about unfair pricing and substandard products," said an NHA official. "This operation aims to ensure fair prices and better services for travelers." Recent inspections have already resulted in several businesses being penalized for violating regulations. For example, one restaurant was fined for significantly overcharging customers for meals. Another vendor was cited for selling expired goods. The NHA has pledged to continue these surprise inspections to maintain standards and protect consumers. The authority's efforts are welcomed by many travelers who have long complained about the high costs and poor quality of goods at motorway rest areas. The operation is expected to create a more positive experience for those traveling on Pakistan's motorways.
