A man has been arrested for stealing taps from a metro bus station in Rawalpindi.

An unidentified person was caught red-handed by the management of the metro bus authority and stole the taps at the bus station. The alleged thief was handed over to Sadiqabad police for investigation.

The metro bus service has been operational for the last 23 days but toilets, accelerators and elevators at different stations have not been opened to public use.

Contractors have given the June 30 deadline for making all the accelerators and elevators operational, while toilets of Islamabad and Rawalpindi stations have been handed over to metro bus management, but they were yet to be opened for public use.
