The city’s most crucial artery, Shahrah-e-Faisal, is now fully reopened for traffic. This development comes after the conclusion of a sit-in by a religious group at two critical points, Natha Khan Bridge and Malir 15, which had caused significant disruptions since December 26.
Traffic Situation Update
The reopening of Shahrah-e-Faisal has brought relief to commuters as both sides of the road are now operational. However, sit-ins organized by the religious group in protest against the Parachinar incidents are still ongoing in other parts of Karachi, creating traffic challenges in some areas.
Areas Affected by Protests
Despite the reopening of Shahrah-e-Faisal, traffic remains affected at 13 other locations across Karachi, including:
- MA Jinnah Road (Numaish Chowrangi and Golimar)
- Power House Chowrangi
- University Road (near Safari Park)
- Abul Hassan Isphahani Road
- Five Star Chowrangi
- Ahsanabad
- Shahrah-e-Pakistan (Ayesha Manzil and Incholi)
- Surjani Town (in front of KDA Flats)
- Gulistan-e-Johar (Johar Mor and Kamran Chowrangi)
