Karachi: All Pakistan Goods Transport Owners Association has announced a nationwide wheel jam strike for non-acceptance of demands in two days.
While giving a press conference in Karachi, General Secretary Owais Chaudhry said that the government’s implementation of the axle load law at the port is appreciated, but the government should ensure the implementation of the axle load law on the national highways as well.
He said that the implementation of axle load should be ensured by the provincial governments and the respective government stakeholders of the national highways should make their way stations operational while the national highways should stop overloaded vehicles every day.
The General Secretary said that we have already parked 5000 vehicles in protest at Kathor to end the overload, the delivery of bulk cargo has been stopped at a limited level across the country.
He said that due to lack of axle load law, national highways are destroyed and accidents occur, transporters spend a lot of capital due to import of spare parts due to overloading.
Owais Chaudhry said that according to a survey, 75 billion rupees are spent annually on road structures damaged by overloading on highways, 120 tons of goods are loaded on a 53-ton vehicle, which directly benefits the mill owners. is arriving
The General Secretary said that even in a war-torn country like Afghanistan, load-axle rules are fully implemented, goods delivered to the Afghanistan border by one vehicle from Pakistan are transported by 3 vehicles.
