In Karachi, drone cameras are prohibited for seven days
A seven-day temporary restriction on the use of drone cameras has been imposed by Karachi authorities in anticipation of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi’s current visit to Pakistan.
As part of the city’s security measures, Karachi Commissioner Syed Hassan Naqvi has released a notification outlining the ban on using drone cameras between April 22 and April 28.
The notice gives the relevant Station House Officer (SHO) the authority to take the appropriate measures to enforce this restriction.
The traffic police in Karachi have, meantime, sent warnings about the temporary shutdown of roads in certain areas of the city on April 23.
Club Road, which runs from PIDC to Metropole, and Dr. Ziauddin Ahmed Road, which stops traffic from Ziauddin Road Bridge to PIDC Chowk, are also affected by the shutdown. In addition, Dr Ziauddin Ahmed Road from PIDC to Khajoor Chowk will be closed.
Drivers from Sultanabad are advised to utilize Dr. Ziauddin Road to enter Aiwan-e-Sadr Road via Khajoor Chowk in order to assist traffic diversion. Turn left at Club Chowk if heading from Sharea Faisal to Sultanabad. Make a left turn from Club Chowk to reach Boat Basin and Clifton Bridge.
The suggested path for commuters from Khaliq-ul-Zaman Road and Ghazri is to turn right at the Ziauddin traffic signal and head towards Fawara Chowk and Aiwan-e-Sadar. Likewise, anyone approaching Khajoor Chowk from Shaheen Complex had to turn right.
Ahead of President Raisi’s visit, Commissioner Naqvi has already proclaimed April 23 to be a public holiday in Karachi.
The statement states that on Tuesday, April 23, all government and commercial establishments, along with all educational institutions in the Karachi Division, would be closed. The goal of this move is to minimize public discomfort and make sure the Iranian delegation is welcomed with ease.
With the continued tensions between Tehran and Israel, President Raisi’s formal journey to Islamabad, which is of great international importance, began earlier today.
President Raisi was greeted warmly by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who noted that he was the first foreign dignitary to visit Pakistan since the February 8 general elections.
The international world is keeping a careful eye on the visit, but because of its efforts to isolate Iran, it is possible that the US would not see it favorably. Reiterating its commitment to the visit, Pakistan has informed the US that the interaction was scheduled well in advance of the current tensions in the area.
