LAHORE: The local business community has asked the government to immediately resolve the issues faced by air cargo agents as they, along with Pakistan International Freight Forwarders Association, are going on strike for fulfillment of their demands.
Lahore Chamber of Commerce & Industry (LCCI) President Ijaz Mumtaz, in a statement, said that the strike would deal a big blow to the export-oriented industry that is already facing various internal and external challenges.
The LCCI president maintained that the strike of Air Cargo Agents Association and Pakistan International Freight Forwarders Association would cause hardship to the exporters, and the government would be the ultimate loser as far as revenue collection is concerned.
Mumtaz said that strike would virtually bring the exports and imports to a halt and the industrial wheel would stop due to the unavailability of imported raw material. He said the just demands of the Air Cargo Agents Association and Pakistan International Freight Forwarders Association should be met by the government to avoid anarchy.
