Pakistan Transporters Threaten Nationwide Strike Over Fuel Price Hikes
Pakistan's goods transporters alliance has warned of a potential nationwide strike in response to soaring fuel costs, adding to the economic strain from the Middle East crisis. Malik Shehzad Awan, president of the Pakistan Goods Transport Alliance, stated that transporters should remain prepared for a strike call at any time. The alliance criticized the government's decision to raise fuel prices following the resurgence of Middle East hostilities and the introduction of a daily fuel price review policy, labeling it 'anti-transport.' Many road freight businesses face closure due to frequent diesel price hikes. Pakistan began revising gasoline and diesel prices daily on July 21, citing transparency and alignment with international markets. Meanwhile, Pakistani refiners are seeking crude oil supplies from the U.S., Nigeria, Singapore, and Central Asia amid threats to supply from the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea.
