Amid a strike announced by the Pakistan Petroleum Dealers Association (PPDA) in protest against the government’s refusal to increase their margin, the main oil marketing companies have announced to keep fuel stations open across the country.
The PPDA had announced a strike a few days earlier, demanding an increase in the dealers' margin on the sale of petroleum products. Complaining about low margins, petroleum dealers are demanding an increase in their margin to 6%.
