The blockage of roads have been frequent in Karachi as on December 15, a protest near Teen Hatti over water and power supply issues halted traffic in the surrounding areas.

Roads leading from Teen Hatti to PIB Colony were blocked, resulting in disruptions to traffic movement. In addition, traffic from Lasbela was being diverted towards Liaquatabad by the city’s traffic police.

On Abul Hasan Asfahani Road, there was heavy traffic pressure heading towards University Road. Karachi witnessed traffic jams from Gulshan Chowrangi to Maskan Chowrangi, while Disco Bakery Road also experienced vehicle queues leading towards the university.

The gridlock made it challenging for residents to travel even short distances within the city.

Similarly on December 14, the Karachi Traffic Police had taken measures to address increased traffic congestion across the city due to a high number of shoppers and ongoing events.

According to reports, Abdullah Haroon Road near Zainab Market was closed to accommodate the heavy influx of shoppers. As the Christmas season approaches and winter weather sets in, Karachi had seen a significant influx of shoppers flocking to markets across the city. Due to the large number of shoppers, there was noticeable increase in traffic congestion.

Key areas such as Tariq Road, Bahadurabad, Saddar, and Zainab Market were experiencing heavy traffic as a result. Streets around areas like Gul Plaza, Jamia Cloth, Fawara Chowk, and their vicinity were especially affected with traffic jams due to the high volume of shoppers and vehicles in the area.

As a result, traffic was being redirected from Fawara Chowk to Din Muhammad Wafai Road to help alleviate congestion in the area.

On Rashid Minhas Road, there was a significant accumulation of sewage water on the road, causing major traffic delays, especially affecting vehicles heading towards Millennium Mall. Traffic movement in this direction was slow, making it challenging for motorists heading towards NIPA.

At the Expo Center, a book fair attracted a large crowd and leading to heavy traffic congestion. The Traffic Police were managing the situation by redirecting vehicles carefully around the area and checking vehicles to manage the flow of visitors.

Meanwhile, slow traffic conditions were also reported around the National Stadium, particularly towards Gharibabad, due to the high volume of vehicles and events taking place in the vicinity.

Motorists were advised to take alternative routes and allow extra time for travel to avoid delays during these peak times. The Traffic Police are actively managing these disruptions to ensure smoother traffic flow across the city.

Pakistan floods: South Asia’s monsoon explained

Floods in Pakistan have killed more than 1,000 people after what its climate change minister called a record unbroken cycle of monsoon rains with “8 weeks of non-stop torrents”. AFP explains what the monsoon is, why it is so important and yet so dangerous, and how climate change and other man-made effects may be altering the vast life-giving but destructive annual weather system. What is the South Asian monsoon? The Southwest or the Asian Summer Monsoon is essentially a colossal sea breeze that brings South Asia 70-80 percent of its annual rainfall between June and September every year. It occurs when summer heat warms the landmass of the subcontinent, causing the air to rise and sucking in cooler Indian Ocean winds which then produce enormous volumes of rain. Why it is important? The monsoon is vital for agriculture and therefore for the livelihoods of millions of farmers and for food security in the poor region of around two billion people. But it brings destruction every ye...

ISLAMABAD: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) on Monday removed a recently installed ‘Golden Hands’ sculpture located along Margalla Avenue in Islamabad. The artwork featured two large golden hands holding two balls like objects resembling a world map.
