Transporters 'end strike' as Punjab govt 'halts' implementation of heavy fines

The transporters have called off their strike against heavy fines after reaching an agreement with the Punjab government. The sources said that the transporters had reached an understanding with Transport Minister Bilal Akbar Khan, following which it was agreed that implementation of the new traffic rules would be halted and the wheel-jam strike would be called off. Punjab Senior Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb, however, dismissed reports of any order suspending the implementation of the Traffic Ordinance 2025.
