Massive traffic jam hits Karachi due to protest

Parts of the city are facing problems with traffic jams especially University Road due to the construction work of the Red Line.

Earlier on 22 November 2024, the Karachi Traffic Police announced a temporary road closure and traffic diversion plan in the wake of the 12th International Defense Exhibition and Seminar (IDEAS) 2024.

The measures were implemented to ensure the safety and security arrangements for the event.

These closures and diversions were part of the stringent security protocols for IDEAS 2024 to manage the high volume of traffic expected in the area.
