Metro53 - A province-wide strike is underway in Punjab as the Transport Association protests against the enforcement of new traffic laws and heavy fines on commercial vehicles. The strike has caused difficulties for passengers in several major cities, including Lahore and Rawalpindi.
School van owners have also joined the strike, resulting in many children being unable to reach their schools.
Meanwhile, the first round of negotiations between the transporters and the Punjab government has failed. The next round of talks is scheduled for today at 2 PM.
