The Kathmandu District Administration Office has issued an urgent notice warning ride-sharing services, including InDrive, Pathao, and Yango, against charging passengers excessively during the ongoing monsoon-related disaster.

The office said it has received complaints of passengers being charged significantly higher fares than usual. Authorities have urged all drivers and operators not to exploit passengers and warned that anyone found overcharging will face strict legal action.

Passengers who experience such fare gouging are requested to report the incident to the District Administration Office with proper evidence.
