Srinagar: Srinagar’s traffic police have clarified the fare structure for e-rickshaws within the city limits, saying the fare is fixed at Rs 10 per kilometre for up to four passengers, dispelling earlier confusion regarding pricing.

A senior official from Srinagar Traffic Police said that the fare for e-rickshaws is Rs 10 per kilometre for a maximum of four passengers, which means Rs 2.50 per kilometre per person for single passengers.

The official said strict action will be taken against any operators found overcharging or violating the government-set rates. “We are ensuring there is no overcharging in the city. E-rickshaws are also restricted to designated routes within city limits, and violations will be dealt with legally,” he said.

Urging citizens to comply with the established fare, the official urged passengers to pay only the approved rates and refrain from giving additional amounts unnecessarily—(KNO)
