Srinagar, May 6: Taking serious note of complaints by tourists regarding menace of overcharging by Taxi & Maxi Cab drivers, the Divisional Commissioner (Div Com) Kashmir, Vijay Kumar Bidhuri Monday admonished those vehicle owners involved in illegal and unethical practice of fleecing tourists by charging exorbitant rates.
