Prime Minister Imran Khan has ordered the National Highway Authority (NHA) and the Motorway Police to take action against profiteers who overcharge people in rest areas at motorways. The directives came after a score of complaints were made on the Pakistan Citizen’s Portal.

Several complainants have reported that several food items in these tuckshops are being sold at double or triple the actual prices. Some of the inflated items are juices, snacks, coffee, tea, biscuits, water bottles and soft drinks, etc.
