Movement of essential goods, industrial products, edible items, vegetables and fruits between Punjab and Karachi has come to a halt for the last two to three days following blocking of roads by the government in a move to handle the protest plans of PTI and PAT on Independence Day.
Industrialists in Punjab are concerned over detention of their containers loaded with goods, both for export and also local supplies to various cities.
The business community and fruit and vegetable exporters are worried over the deteriorating supply situation as they are facing problems in getting transporters to lift the cargo. Exporters also find it difficult to meet deadlines of shipments to foreign destinations.
