Cargo Traffic Resumes After Transporters’ Strike Ends in Karachi
The strike by goods transporters in Karachi has come to an end, and cargo vehicles have begun moving out of the port.
According to traffic authorities, the resumption of freight vehicle operations has affected the flow of traffic on major roads, particularly Mauripur Road. Key intersections, including Mauripur, Mirza Adam Khan Chowk, and ICI Chowk, are experiencing slow-moving traffic.
Traffic police added that delays in issuing passes for vehicles leaving the port have further contributed to congestion, impacting overall traffic movement in the city.
Goods transporters across Pakistan on Wednesday called off their nationwide strike following successful discussions with government authorities.
Punjab Transport Minister Bilal Akbar praised the transport community for conducting a peaceful strike. He also announced that heavy fines and FIRs against transporters have been abolished. Addressing one of the key demands, he stated that fitness certificates obtained in Karachi will now be recognized in Punjab, valid for six months.
The minister further shared that, following directions from Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, new truck stands will be constructed in all major cities. He added that rest areas will be built for drivers, and anyone qualified to drive will be issued a heavy transport vehicle (HTV) license.
The resolution of the strike marks a significant step toward improved relations between the transport sector and authorities, ensuring smoother logistics operations and better facilities for transport workers across the country.
