LPG association postpones strike

Pakistan LPG Marketers Association has deferred the work stoppage it had planned for November 16, Business Recorder reported. The decision followed a meeting with Sindh Governor Syed Muhammad Nehal Hashmi, who undertook to pass the association’s concerns to the relevant federal ministry and help coordinate further discussions.

The delegation, headed by Mirza Ishtiaq Baig, raised LPG availability, policy and sector difficulties amid Middle East developments and the country’s energy challenges. Governor Hashmi called for steady LPG availability and dialogue with industry participants, while association representative Ali Haider said the group had chosen the strike date because its input was not considered during policy development. The postponement followed the governor’s assurance that the concerns would be conveyed and coordination supported.
