Karachi: According to reports, Oil Tankers Association has announced a nationwide strike from June 24.

Addressing an emergency press conference at his office, Abdullah Afridi, President, Oil Tankers Contractors Association, said that despite the ban on commercial and illegal loading by OGRA, they are not being stopped.

He said that they will be on strike from June 24 by stopping the supply of oil across the country. A meeting chaired by the former Petroleum Minister on July 18, 2020 had assured to resolve all these issues. But the problems could not be solved.

He said that any company has the right to legally fill the tanker from its nearest depot. We have contracts for filling the contractor but our rent is being taken by private tankers.

General Secretary Oil Tankers Contractor Shoaib Ashraf said that road share should be provided to oil tankers in the White Oil Pipeline project.

Any company has the right to legally fill tankers from its nearest depot but private tankers are filling tank lorries from Karachi and taking them all over Pakistan.
