‘Traders won’t observe strike’

Published October 23, 2008

LAHORE, Oct 22: The All-Pakistan Anjuman Tajran has announced that traders in the provincial metropolis will not observe a strike on the call of the Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry on Oct 25 and will not pay the inflated electricity bills either.

Addressing a news conference at the Lahore Press Club on Wednesday, Anjuman president Maqsood Butt said traders would not observe a strike on the call of the FPCCI because the Anjuman was neither its member nor it was consulted before giving the strike call. — Reporter
