Inauguration of the Nishan-e-Pakistan monument at Sea View on Friday evening became a bane for nearby residents as well as commuters using the main thoroughfare as security personnel cordoned off the area a day before the event.

The road between Sea View McDonald's and Khayaban-e-Bahria had been closed the entire day on Friday and was scheduled to reopen at 9pm.
