Islamabad: A nationwide strike has been announced across Pakistan, calling for a complete shutdown of petrol supply from May 1 to May 5. The protest is being organized in response to rising inflation, increasing petroleum prices, unemployment, and ongoing political instability in the country.
According to the announcement, no petrol will be sold during the five-day period. Citizens have been urged not to visit petrol pumps, and organizers warned that anyone found purchasing fuel during the strike would be responsible for their own actions.
The call for the strike has reportedly come from members of the trader community along with the general public. Organizers say the protest reflects growing frustration among citizens, particularly those struggling with the rising cost of living and economic hardship.
They emphasized that the strike will remain peaceful, urging participants to avoid any form of violence or vandalism, as such actions would only harm the public. Citizens have also been encouraged to monitor petrol stations in their local areas to ensure compliance with the strike.
The protest aims to send a strong message against economic pressures and to demand relief for the general population.
