Petroleum Dealers Association announces nationwide strike

Karachi: The Petroleum Dealers Association (PDA) has declared a nationwide strike this week in support of their demands.

PDA Chairman, Abdul Sami Khan, stated that they have requested the government to raise the profit margin or commission by 5%.

However, the government is currently offering only a 2.4% profit margin, equivalent to Rs. 6 per liter.

The PDA argues that low-profit margins are causing losses for petrol pumps with lower sales, leading many to shut down.
