Petrol pump owners ‘split’ over strike after govt talks

Petrol pump owners in Pakistan are divided over a strike after government talks, with some groups deferring the strike due to assurances on daily fuel pricing and dealer margins, while the association's leadership claims the talks failed and the strike will proceed indefinitely. The government promised a two-week trial of daily pricing and to review dealer margins but did not address specific demands like an 8% commission or supply quotas.
