The Karachi traffic police have unveiled a detailed traffic management plan to ensure smooth movement during the central Youm-e-Ali (RA) procession, scheduled for Saturday, March 22, in observance of the martyrdom anniversary of Hazrat Ali (RA).
The main congregation will be held at Nishtar Park on the 21st of Ramadan, followed by the central procession, which is set to begin at 1:00 PM.
To manage the procession efficiently, M.A. Jinnah Road will be closed to regular traffic from Guru Mandir to Tower. Traffic police will guide motorists through alternative routes to prevent congestion.
The procession will start from Nishtar Park, passing through Numaish, M.A. Jinnah Road, Sea Breeze, and Empress Market in Saddar.
It will continue via Saddar Regal and Tibet Centre, rejoining M.A. Jinnah Road and finishing at Hussainia Imambargah in Kharadar via Bolton Market.
To help ease traffic flow, the authorities have provided alternative routes for commuters:
- Vehicles coming from Nazimabad should use Lasbela Chowk and Nishtar Road towards Garden.
- Those travelling from Liaquatabad should head towards Teen Hatti, Lasbela Chowk, and Central Jail.
- Motorists from Hasan Square can be diverted via Kashmir Road towards Society Light Signal to reach PP Chowrangi.
- Traffic from Jail Flyover will be directed to Teen Hatti and Nishtar Road.
- Vehicles on Shahrah-e-Quaideen heading towards Numaish will be diverted to Kashmir Road via Society Light Signal.
- Commuters from Jamshed Road to Guru Mandir can use Bahadur Yar Jang Road and Soldier Bazaar.
Traffic police have urged motorists to plan their travel ahead and follow the instructions to avoid disruptions during the procession.
