A mobile court conducted by the Goaland Upazila administration in Rajbari fined a transport operator for overcharging passengers ahead of the upcoming 13th National Parliamentary Election and referendum. The operation took place on Tuesday, February 10, at Daulatdia ferry terminal and bus stand, led by Assistant Commissioner (Land) and Executive Magistrate Muntasir Hasan Khan, with law enforcement personnel present. The court imposed a fine of 5,000 taka on a Poradah-bound transport company under Section 40 of the Consumer Rights Protection Act, 2009, after confirming the allegation of excessive fare collection.

During the operation, the administration arranged for the immediate refund of the excess fare to the affected passengers through the transport authority. Muntasir Hasan Khan stated that such drives would continue to prevent passenger harassment and fare manipulation during the election period, ensuring safe and smooth travel for homebound passengers.

Local passengers welcomed the initiative, expressing that regular monitoring and strict enforcement could significantly reduce fare-related harassment.
