Pakistan: Strike by flour mill workers continues in Sindh March 3
Strike by flour mill workers continues in Sindh, Pakistan, March 3. Shortage of flour-based and wheat products is likely.
Event
A Pakistan Flour Mills Association-initiated strike continues in Sindh Province on March 3. The action began on March 2 to address various demands, including imposing a fixed wheat quota.
The strike will likely affect the wheat product supply due to the closure of all Karachi-based flour mills. While organizers have not announced any demonstration plans, strike participants may hold protests during the industrial action. Shortages of wheat products could lead to scuffles in shops.
Advice
Anticipate shortages of wheat products. Monitor trusted local sources for updates on rallies and related disruptions. Leave immediately if violence occurs.
