KARACHI, Nov 17: Goods transporters on Friday called off their strike following successful negotiations with the Sindh minister for transport and industries.

The Sindh minister for transport, Adil Siddiqui, held talks with goods transporters on Friday evening and convinced them to call off their strike.
