Summary Though the government has announced to cut halve the increase in petroleum prices, transporters in Karachi are not convinced with the announcement and refused to call off their strike.
Karachi Transport Ittehad President Arshad Bukhari told Dunya News that the strike would continue, until the Sindh government had not paid the compensation for the vehicles that were burnt during a protest.He demanded Rs 9 million from the provincial government for the mini busses that were seized by the authorities. He said that if Sindh Governor Ishrat-ul-Ibad had assured him that the demands would be met, the KTI would call off the strike. People in Karachi say that the transporters are blackmailing the public by putting new demands.
