KARACHI, Feb 12: Closure of a portion of Dr Ziauddin Ahmad Road from Shaheen Complex to S.M. Law College for replacing an underground sewerage line left a number of motorists stranded on the nearby roads for hours on Monday evening.
Though traffic was diverted to different roads the mismanagement on part of traffic police complicated the situation further.
The vehicles coming from Burnes Road and Arambagh and those on the M.R. Kiyani Road remained blocked at the Arts Council roundabout. At the intersection, a very few police constables were seen who could not control the heavy flow of traffic.
Long queues of vehicles were witnessed on Din Mohammad Wafai Road and I.I. Chundrigar Road after the office hours.
Besides, complaints of traffic jams were also received from Garden, Nagan Chowrangi and Sohrab Goth.
