Pakistan Goods Transport Alliance has announced a three percent increase in freight charges following the recent surge in petroleum prices, citing rising operational costs that directly affect transporters and consumers nationwide.<\/p>\n
Speaking to the media, the association\u2019s president, Malik Shehzad Awan, expressed concerns over the government\u2019s fuel price hike, warning that the increased transport expenses are unavoidable and significantly impact every Pakistani citizen.<\/p>\n

Awan highlighted that both federal and Punjab government policies are putting immense pressure on the transport sector, noting that previous agreements with ministers during earlier strikes remain unimplemented despite formal commitments.<\/p>\n
The transport leader accused the authorities of ignoring transporters\u2019 concerns, stating that no serious steps have been taken to alleviate financial stress, which continues to burden operators and logistics businesses across the country.<\/p>\n

He further warned that if the government fails to honour its commitments, the alliance may organize another peaceful nationwide strike, holding both federal and provincial authorities responsible for any disruptions or inconvenience.<\/p>\n
Officials said the freight hike reflects the growing challenges faced by the sector, and transporters urge swift government action to stabilize fuel pricing, uphold prior agreements, and prevent further disruptions in goods movement.<\/p>\n
