Authorities have cleared roadblocks from several major routes across Karachi, including the M-9 Motorway, Sohrab Goth, M.A. Jinnah Road, Shahrah-e-Quaidin and Rashid Minhas Road, helping restore traffic movement in key parts of the city.
However, traffic remained slow on M.A. Jinnah Road and the road outside the Saddar Parking Plaza after workers did not completely remove the containers placed along the routes. The remaining obstacles continued to disrupt the normal flow of vehicles, particularly in the busy Saddar area.
The reopening of these major roads comes after heightened security and traffic restrictions in the city. The authorities had placed containers and other barriers at several locations, causing delays for commuters and affecting movement between different parts of Karachi.
The situation also follows the cancellation of a Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) gathering planned for Shahrah-e-Quaidin. Authorities had denied permission for the event a day earlier, prompting the party to call off the planned gathering.
With most of the roadblocks now removed, traffic authorities are expected to continue monitoring the affected routes and clear the remaining containers to ensure smoother traffic movement.
