Key routes in Karachi closed for traffic due to procession, alternate routes arranged

Several key roads in Karachi have been partially closed for traffic due to an ongoing procession, leading the police to arrange alternate routes for commuters. The closures have caused an increase in traffic congestion in various parts of the city.

According to the traffic police, Main University Road, particularly the stretch from Safari Park to Baitul Mukarram Masjid, has been temporarily closed. Heavy traffic is being redirected from Samama Chowk to Johar Chowrangi to alleviate pressure on the main road. Meanwhile, smaller vehicles are being diverted through the service road, but the closure has significantly slowed traffic in surrounding areas.

Another key route from Golimar sanitary market to Lasbela has also been shut down due to an anticipated procession, with police directing vehicles towards the Bara Board area. The closures are part of preparations for the 12th Rabi-ul-Awal celebrations, which will see various processions across the city.

Alternate Routes and Traffic Management

The traffic police have urged commuters to use alternate routes and avoid the closed areas if possible. They are expected to introduce a detailed traffic plan to manage the heavy flow of vehicles in the coming days. Officers and personnel are expected to be deployed on major roads to ensure smoother traffic movement during the religious celebrations.

Citizens can reach out to the traffic police helpline at 1915 for updates on traffic conditions and further assistance.

The police have advised the public to stay informed and cooperate with the authorities to minimize traffic delays and ensure a safe and smooth commute during this period.
