Overview
- Public and goods transport was largely suspended across Lahore, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Okara and other cities, leaving passengers stranded and disrupting supplies.
- Initial negotiations between transport representatives and the Punjab government ended without progress, with union leaders vowing to continue the stoppage until demands are met.
- Police leadership rejected pressure to ease enforcement, defending tougher rules as road‑safety measures and citing 63,970 challans worth over Rs80 million in 24 hours and 23,904 vehicles confiscated.
- Transport groups submitted a 25‑point charter seeking rollback or revision of fines, permit and certification changes, and relief for low‑income operators, while highlighting a disputed licence fee gap in Punjab.
- Union leaders warned the action could become indefinite and said a nationwide wheel‑jam from Khyber to Karachi could follow from December 10 if no agreement is reached.
