Transporters vow to continue strike until demands are accepted |
LAHORE: Traders and transporters have criticised the working style of the Punjab chief minister and have advised her to stop ‘anti-business actions’ as the wheel-jam strike called by the transporters entered its sixth day on Friday.
According to reports, only two transporter groups announced calling off the strike after meeting with the Lahore police. However, other major transport associations rejected the announcement.
“We are yet to receive the material lying at the Karachi Port after being imported from various countries. Likewise, the goods we were to send to various international buyers have been lying at factories for the last six days,” Pakistan Textile Exporters Association (PTEA) Secretary General Azizullah Goheer said while talking to Dawn on Friday.
“The strike is not only causing financial loss but also damaging our credibility and commitment internationally. We are missing vessels through which we booked our export goods. It is a loss of billions,” he said, terming the situation serious.
