KARACHI (Dunya news) – Holding a nationwide strike, the All Pakistan Oil Tankers Association has suspended the supply of oil all over the country in a bid to protest against the imposition of 5% additional sales tax.
Sindh government has imposed a 5 percent additional sales tax; the Oil Tankers Association therefore has launched a protest against the imposition. In the wake of which, they have announced to cut off oil supply within the country especially to the power sector.
