Karachi's Chundrigar Road is currently facing a major traffic crisis, with severe congestion and road closures causing significant delays for commuters. But here's where it gets controversial: the closures are not just due to the usual reasons, but also because of recent protests against the assassination of Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The authorities have shut down key city arteries, including MT Khan Road and Mai Kolachi Road, which has led to a ripple effect of delays on surrounding streets. The traffic police have confirmed that the situation has created significant congestion, particularly on the road from Tower towards PIDC, causing difficulties for commuters. Citizens are advised to take alternative routes when travelling near Tower or PIDC to avoid further delays. And this is the part most people miss: the metropolis has been witnessing major traffic disruptions and road closures since Sunday, following the protests across the city against US-Israel attacks on Iran. At least 10 people were killed in Karachi protests due to gunshot wounds, while several others were wounded. So, what do you think? Is the government's response to the protests justified? Or is there a more peaceful way to address the situation? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
