A protest at Karachi Shahrae Faisal disrupted traffic. A demonstration organized by local people and later joined by attorneys resulted in the road’s closure on Wednesday, causing major congestion on surrounding routes.
The police acknowledged that the demonstration began at the Kala Pul signal, where citizens stopped the road and demanded that the police open a case over a personal quarrel.
Frustrated by the lack of reaction from officials, Protesters set fire to a motorbike, aggravating the situation. The demonstration badly impeded traffic flow, resulting in long lines of vehicles on the major artery and surrounding roads.
Later, attorneys joined the demonstration and started speaking on the FTC Flyover, escalating the disturbance. The demonstration stopped both tracks of Shahrae Faisal, disrupting traffic in the FTC, Defence, and nearby areas.
