After the successful conclusion of the negotiations, the government abolished the levy, and the mill owners called off their strike.
It is important to note that the proprietors of the flour mills went on a three-day strike, which caused a shortage of flour, especially in Karachi.
On July 11, the owners of flour mills declared and staged a walkout against the tax included in the 2024–25 budget.
