Pakistan’s petroleum dealers to launch nationwide strike today

The Pakistan Petroleum Dealers Association (PPDA) stated that Pakistan’s oil dealers will hold a nationwide strike on Thursday, accusing Imran Khan’s government of failing to increase dealer’s profit margins.

According to a reporter, although PPDA did not mention when the strike will end, the chairman of the association Abdul Samihan stated that the strike will begin at 6 am local time on Thursday.

PPDA issued a handout stating that an oil dealer meeting was held in Lahore on November 20, and it was pointed out at the meeting that the Pakistani government would increase profit margins three years ago.

PPDA added that the aforementioned promises have not been fulfilled. Due to increased inflation and rising petroleum product prices, it has become difficult for distributors to operate gas stations, the Liming Report also said.

Previously, the dealers announced a strike on November 5, but withdrew the strike after a government delegation met with them on November 3 to meet their demands.

The meeting led to the formation of a team to ensure that the agreement to increase profitability through the approval of the Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) and the Federal Cabinet is implemented by November 15, Liming further reported.

According to another statement, the government agreed to increase the profit margin by 6% and strive to implement the decision by November 17. But the statement added that the government does not seem to take this decision seriously.

At the same time, on the day before the strike, it was reported that major cities in Pakistan, including Islamabad, Rawalpindi and Karachi, were experiencing traffic congestion. Videos and posts on social media show long lines at gas stations in these cities and people rushing to refuel vehicles.

The Ministry of Petroleum of Pakistan has guaranteed that all major sales points will provide vehicle fuel-Pakistan National Oil Company (PSO), Shell and all stations across the country. A department spokesperson stated that a summary to improve the profitability of oil distributors has been sent to ECC. The Ministry is working hard to increase profit margins, and the Federal Cabinet will make a decision soon.

Pakistan’s economy is currently struggling to cope with high inflation, current account deficits, historical currency devaluations and reduced foreign exchange reserves. In the face of increasingly severe economic challenges, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has agreed to resume the stalled US$6 billion Pakistani financing plan.

Amitabh Bachchan: Shocking Fan Incident Outside Jalsa

Amitabh Bachchan Fan Faints After Hours of Torturous Waiting

The weekly Sunday rite outside the renowned gates of Jalsa is nothing short of profoundly holy. For decades, thousands of deeply moved admirers have gathered like clockwork, hoping for a single glimpse of the iconic megastar.

Yesterday evening, that fierce commitment took a scary and sad turn. A middle-aged guy, who had been standing patiently in the scorching midday sun for more than four hours, collapsed unexpectedly.

He collapsed totally into profound sleep, landing directly on the harsh, unforgiving asphalt road. The happy, chanting crowd fell silent in an instant as reality hit in.

A Heartbreaking Moment of Desperation

According to eyewitnesses, this enthusiast travelled across various states for a two-minute glimpse of his idol. His quivering hands clutched a framed vintage photograph of the superstar.

As the searing midday heat reached its zenith, acute dehydration and utter physical fatigue overtook his body. His feeble knees bowed under the crushing weight of his never-ending, frantic wait.

He fell face first to the ground before anyone could react or grab him. The enormous crowd’s collective, frightened gasp boomed over Juhu’s normally peaceful suburban streets.


Sudden Chaos Outside Jalsa’s Gates

Within seconds, total fear spread among the observers. Fellow supporters quickly dropped their homemade banners and posters, coming to the fallen man’s rescue. Someone desperately sprayed cold water upon his pale, sweating face.

The large security crew stationed outside Amitabh Bachchan’s home acted quickly. They were able to remove the rising, panicked crowd, allowing the choking sufferer to breathe easier.

An emergency ambulance was dispatched immediately, while local volunteers attempted to revive him. In a few startling moments, the atmosphere went from exhilarating exhilaration to total horror.


The Relentless Sunday Evening Madness

Every Sunday evening, the veteran actor gracefully goes onto a high podium at his grand gates. It is a renowned custom that has completely defined Bollywood fan culture over generations.

Passionate admirers will miss meals, risk heavy monsoons, and suffer harsh summer heat waves only to see him wave. It is a profound, emotional bond that defies all reasonable logic.

For this heartbreakingly loyal admirer, the powerful emotional rush combined with severe physical tiredness proved to be a highly perilous, almost lethal combination on the boiling, sweltering concrete.

Security Personnel Scramble to Prevent Tragedy

Local police officers responded promptly to the chaotic scene, attempting to manage the emotionally charged throng. Medical staff administered quick, vital first aid on the scene, examining his critically weak and decreasing pulse.

The comatose man was gingerly put onto a canvas stretcher, still clutching his prized, sweat-soaked image of the actor. He was sent to a local hospital for emergency treatment.

On-duty medics eventually confirmed that he had severe heatstroke and acute, life-threatening dehydration. Fortunately, his medical condition improved after he received repeated IV infusions and intensive, appropriate care.


A Stark Warning for Star-Worshippers

This terrible, tragic episode has generated a heated, much-needed debate about the extreme limits of celebrity worship in India. Blind passion should never result in the death of an innocent person.

Jalsa is an undisputed historical monument to love, but yesterday it served as a grim, sobering lesson. Extreme physical endurance for a brief moment can easily result in a catastrophic medical tragedy.

As thousands of passionate individuals continue to flow to Mumbai every day, the fine line between beautiful appreciation and life-threatening devotion becomes increasingly, dangerously blurred for these fragile worshippers.


Terrifying Boundaries of Human Obsession

The burning passion that motivates these ordinary folks to risk their own health is both wonderful and scary. It emphasises the megastar’s immense, godlike influence over millions of hearts.

While the legendary actor continues to express love to his devoted fans, this dangerous occurrence demonstrates that safety should always come first. No fan should have to bleed or faint on the street in order to catch a passing shadow.
