The Pakistan Petroleum Dealers Association initially decided to organize a nationwide strike at petrol pumps, intending to suspend operations for one day. However, they swiftly reversed this decision after further deliberation.
Chairman Abdul Sami Khan, along with key officials in Karachi, announced the change in plans. They cited concerns about the impact on tourists visiting the northern regions of the country as a primary reason for their decision.
Khan emphasized that they empathized with the inconvenience faced by motorcyclists and other commuters who rely on petrol pumps.
Additionally, he highlighted the challenges they encountered due to opposition from the government regarding their proposed strike.
This reversal underscored the association’s responsiveness to public concerns and the complex dynamics between stakeholders in the petroleum sector and governmental authorities.
