Cargo Clearance Resumes at Karachi Port
Cargo clearance and loading, unloading work started at ports after an agreement between transporters with the government.
Tariq Gujjar, a representative of the striking transporters, in a media statement, said that the transporters and the government intend to prevent road accidents in the city. “An immediate upgradation of 15,000 vehicles is impossible,” the President Transport Goods Association said.
“We were demanding time for the upgradation of the vehicles,” Gujjar said.
The government has assured the release of detained vehicles, he said. “Transporters will submit a report every week about the upgraded vehicles,” he added.
Transporters strike entered its third day at Karachi Port against the Sindh government’s crackdown on vehicles lacking fitness certificates.
Protesting transporters parked their vehicles at warehouses and truck stands across Karachi, disrupting the supply chain of imported goods.
The government had launched a crackdown on unfit vehicles across the province after rampant road accidents involving heavy vehicles.
According to reports, over 260 people have lost their lives in road accidents in Karachi in 2025 so far.
