Karachi Traffic Police have announced a diversion plan to manage the flow of traffic for the Youm-e-Wiladat Hazrat Ali (R.A) procession, set to start at 4 pm.

The procession, which will begin at Tibet Centre and end at Soldier Bazar, will lead to road closures in several key areas.

MA Jinnah Road will be blocked from Tibet Centre to Guru Mandir, along with adjacent streets.

Shahrah-e-Qaideen will also be closed from the Khudadad signal, though the bridge from Khudadad to Saddar will remain open.

Drivers using Bahadur Yar Jang Road towards Tower are advised to take alternative routes via Soldier Bazar No 1 Signal, Coast Guard, and Anklesaria Hospital Signal.

Those traveling from Shahrah-e-Qaideen to Naumaish Chowrangi or MA Jinnah Road should divert via Ayesha Aziz Chowrangi to PP Chowrangi, and commuters from Society Light Signal should follow the route from Khudadad Colony Bridge to Empress Market.

For those traveling from Fresco to Naumaish Chowrangi, the Eidgah Chowk route via Jubilee and Nishtar Road is recommended, or alternatively, from Tibet Centre to Regal Chowk.

Additionally, traffic from Fawara Chowk to Garden Nishtar Road should proceed towards Abdullah Haroon Road.

From Paradise Signal, drivers can either go left to Passport Office or right to Empress Market.

For those traveling from Garden Baghicha to Aga Khan III road, the suggested route is through Anklesaria to Gul Plaza and Tibet Chowk.
