KARACHI: Pakistan Chemicals & Dyes Merchants Association (PCDMA) and Pakistan Yarn Merchants Association (PYMA) have moved two identical petitions in Sindh High Court, seeking help against the alleged three-fold increase in terminal handling charges by shipping companies.
According to PCDA, these petitions, filed by Advocate Qazi Abdul
Majid on behalf of the associations, have pointed out that shipping companies were not authorized to take terminal handling charges as the same were being collected by terminal operators.
The petitioners further stated that shipping companies are in a habit to impose unnecessary charges whenever they want and traders have to pay these charges.
The petition also urged the court to direct the government to constitute a body to monitor the alleged profiteering of shipping companies.
