According to the association, the strike will begin at 12:00am on July 23, after talks with the federal government failed to produce an agreement.

Talks End Without Agreement

Association leader Nauman Butt said discussions with the Federal Minister for Petroleum did not reach a positive outcome.

He said both sides failed to resolve differences over dealer margins and the proposed implementation of a daily petroleum pricing mechanism.

Following the collapse of the negotiations, the association decided to suspend operations at petrol pumps across the country.

Pump Owners Asked to Participate

The association directed all petrol pump owners to take part in the nationwide strike.

It urged members to keep their filling stations closed from midnight until the government’s response to their demands.

The association said the strike would continue for an indefinite period unless its concerns over fuel pricing and profit margins are addressed.
