A strike by public transport operators in Karachi will continue after talks with police broke down, the head of a transporters’ union said on Saturday.

The wheel-jam strike has been observed in the metropolis since Thursday against electronic traffic challans, “heavy fines and other regulatory measures”.

Haji Tawab Khan, president of the Karachi Transport Ittehad (KTI), told Dawn on Saturday that the strike would continue.

“We held a meeting with the DIG Traffic, who said reversing the e-challans was not under his authority,” he said.
