The vegetable, fruits, and other essential transporters are allowed to navigate around the province despite the lockdown. Transporter Dilawar Abbas told The Express Tribune during the survey that different goods transport vehicles charge Rs600 for Rawalpindi to Lahore, Rs500 for Rawalpindi to Faisalabad, and Rs1,200 for Rawalpindi to Multan.
