A strike by goods and oil transporters has continued for a third day, disrupting cargo movement across Pakistan. The wheel-jam strike has significantly affected operations at Port Qasim, according to reports from local media.

Negotiations between the transporters and the government were ongoing late Monday night, but no agreement was reached. The Karachi Chamber of Commerce and Industry has offered to mediate in the discussions, as the deadlock persists.
