Petrol pumps across Pakistan will remain closed for 24 hours as fuel dealers launch a nationwide strike against the government’s proposed daily petroleum pricing mechanism.

The shutdown is expected to disrupt fuel supplies, with public transport operators and goods carriers also joining the protest, raising concerns over travel and supply chain disruptions.

Dealers say negotiations with the government failed to resolve differences over the proposed pricing system, prompting them to escalate their opposition through a nationwide strike.

The protest is likely to affect commuters and businesses, while authorities continue efforts to reach an agreement and restore normal fuel distribution.
