KARACHI: The Oil Tanker Contractors Assoc­iation (OTCA) has called off the strike after the Ministry of Petroleum invited the association for talks to resolve various issues on Wednesday.

Presidents OCTA Kara­chi and Islamabad/Rawa­lpindi Abidullah Afiridi and Noman A. Butt confirmed to Dawn that a meeting of oil tanker representatives with the Secretary Petroleum Divis­ion has been fixed for Sept 20.

As some pumps were seen closed till the evening, an official in the Oil Companies Advisory Cou­ncil said it would take time to top up all the pumps.
