Protests organised by the Majlis Wahdat-e-Muslimeen (MWM) in response to the ongoing crisis in Parachinar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Kurram district, continues to paralyse various parts of Karachi on Sunday.
According to traffic police, the central protest is taking place at the Numaish Chowrangi, where both sides of Abu al-Hasan Isfahani Road and Abbas Town are blocked.
Protests have also impacted traffic at Five Star Chowrangi in North Nazimabad and at Samama Shopping Center on University Road.
Further disruptions have been reported at Kala Chapra near Shaheed-e-Millat Road, where both sides of the road are closed. There is also an ongoing protest on the Surjani Town Road, and traffic is blocked near the Incholi area on Shahrah-e-Pakistan.
In Gulistan-e-Jauhar, at Kamran Chowrangi, all routes are blocked due to protests. Nizamabad No. 1 and Powerhouse Chowrangi are also facing traffic issues due to ongoing demonstrations.
Last night, traffic jams were severe on major roads and alternative routes as well, leaving commuters stuck for hours, causing significant inconvenience.
While traffic on the roads is lighter due to the weekend holiday, the pressure on alternative routes continues.
