The All Pakistan Oil Tankers Association has said that it will hold a countrywide strike against a government order on tankersâ movement.
The Rawalpindi district administration in its order has restricted tankers’ movement to eight hours, from 10pm to 6am, to reduce traffic jams and accidents.
The tankers association in a letter to the petroleum secretary said that it is not possible to supply oil to all petrol pumps in the city within eight hours. It asked for the federal government to intervene and resolve the issue.
