KARACHI: All Pakistan Oil Tankers Association’s (APOTA) indefinite strike against hike of POL prices has been continued on second day, SAMAA reported on Wednesday.
The APOTA announced an indefinite strike at the mid night between Monday and Tuesday to express annoyance and displeasure over recent increase in POL prices.
Owing to the ongoing strike of oil tankers, it is feared that oil supply will be badly affected all across the country including petrol pumps, power generating plants, NATO forces in Afghanistan and other important installations.
The spokesman of APOTA, Asrar Shinwari, said while talking to SAMAA that this every month’s ongoing increase in POL prices has broken back of the transporters and made it very difficult for them to carry on business in this era of high inflation. SAMAA
