He stated that the government has continued to reject their demands, and that they would not engage in negotiations with authorities unless their profit margins on petroleum product sales are enhanced by 6%.

Butt said that the administration had already assured the gasoline dealers that their demands would be satisfied, hence the strike had been called off.

“We called off the November 5 strike after getting assurances from the administration that our demands will be met,” Noman Butt stated.

The PPDA secretary responded to a query by saying that no government official had contacted them regarding their requests so far.
