Traffic on Karachi’s Northern Bypass came to a standstill today as protesters blocked the highway, demanding urgent action on their grievances.
According to eyewitnesses, a large group of demonstrators gathered early in the morning, placing barricades and burning tires to prevent vehicles from passing. The protest led to long traffic jams, leaving commuters stranded for hours.
Authorities have not yet disclosed the exact cause of the protest, but initial reports suggest that the demonstrators are raising concerns over civic issues, including a lack of basic amenities and unfulfilled promises by the local administration.
Law enforcement agencies have been deployed to manage the situation and negotiate with the protesters. However, tensions remain high as no resolution has been reached yet.
Motorists are advised to take alternative routes to avoid delays. More updates to follow as the situation develops.
