The Pakistan Hosiery Manufacturers & Exporters Association (PHMA) in the North Zone has called for an immediate end to the ongoing strike by goods transporters, warning that the disruption is endangering the country's exports, industrial production, and foreign exchange earnings. Ahmad Afzal Awan, S Vice Chairman of PHMA North Zone, highlighted that millions of dollars' worth of export orders are at risk due to the factories' difficulties in transporting raw materials, finished goods, and export consignments.
The strike has caused significant disruptions in the supply chain, with containers carrying export and import cargo stuck at ports and terminals across the country, threatening the stability of Pakistan's export-oriented industries. Awan urged the Prime Minister and the Chief of Army Staff to intervene personally to resolve the dispute and establish a permanent institutional mechanism to prevent future disruptions to trade and business activities.
