Goods transport not halted in Sindh, clarifies Wahab.

KARACHI -- In response to the claims of essential goods transportation being suspended in Sindh, made by Special Assistant to the Prime Minister Firdous Ashiq Awan on Tuesday, Sindh government spokesperson Murtaza Wahab has clarified that the movement of vehicles supplying such goods was not restricted anywhere in the province.

Speaking in this regard on Wednesday, Wahab gave assurances about the uninterrupted supply of edibles and other daily-use items from the port to different parts of Sindh. 'No restriction has been imposed on the supply of daily-use items by the Sindh government,' he said.

Earlier, addressing a press conference after a federal cabinet meeting, Awan had remarked, 'The prime minister has expressed his displeasure in strong words over the fact that despite the National Coordination Committee's (NCC) decision to keep transport lines open for essential goods in all four provinces, Gilgit-Baltistan and Azad Jammu and Kashmir, the Sindh government has not implemented the decision.'
