Jamaat-e-Islami has announced a significant protest at the Governor House Sindh this evening to address the rising utility costs and taxes. The sit-in will commence with a rally from the passport office, moving towards the Governor House.
This demonstration is organized to protest the recent increases in gas and electricity bills, escalating petrol prices, and higher taxes. Participants are expected to gather at the Governor House in a show of solidarity.
Jamaat-e-Islami Protest in Karachi – Traffic Plan
In response to the protest, traffic police have implemented significant road closures and diversions:
Aiwan-e-Sadar Road will be closed to traffic from 3 PM, specifically from Fawwara Chowk to Gate No. 1 of the Governor House.
Roads from Shaheen Complex to PIDC will remain accessible.
Diversions: Traffic coming from Metropole will be rerouted away from Ziauddin Road, and vehicles from Arts Council Chowrangi will be redirected to Club Road. Increased traffic pressure is expected from Jinnah Bridge towards PIDC.
Alternative Routes
To avoid congestion, traffic police recommend using the Sultanabad Traffic Section cut to reach Mai Kolachi and Boat Basin. This will help manage the flow and reduce travel delays during the protest.
