Goods transporters strike enters 7th day

KARACHI (92 News) – The goods transporters strike in Karachi continued for the 7th consecutive day against the restriction imposed by the Sindh High Court (SHC) on the movement of heavy vehicles within the city’s jurisdiction on Monday.

The supply of goods has been badly affected as the strike called by goods transporters continued for the 12th day on Monday.

Pakistan Fruit and Vegetable Exporters Association head Waheed Ahmad said that India is benefitting from the strike of goods transporters, adding that the this part of the conspiracy should also be reviewed.
