Petroleum Dealers Postpone Strike After Government Approves Margin Increase

The Pakistan Petroleum Dealers’ Association (PPDA) has called off a planned strike after the government approved an increase in their profit margin. The decision was made in a meeting of the Economic Coordination Committee on Friday. The margin was raised by Rs 1.34 per litre, bringing the total to Rs 9.98. While the strike is postponed, the PPDA has stated it will continue its protest until all its demands, including a potential change back from daily to weekly or fortnightly price revisions, are met.
