KARACHI, June 4: Commuters have to suffer for at least four more days due to the ongoing replacement work of the underground sewerage line on Dr Ziauddin Ahmed Road at the Shaheen Complex intersection.

The work kicked off on June 2 creating severe traffic problems not only on I.I Chundrigar Road and Dr Ziauddin Ahmed Road, but also on all the link roads like Shahrah-i-Liaquat, MA Jinnah Road, Din Mohammad Wafai Road, Courts Road, Sarwar Shaheed Road and M.R Kiyani Road.

Traffic police have diverted traffic coming from PIDC towards Aiwan-i-Saddar Road and Din Mohammad Wafai Road via Fawwara Chowk. Traffic coming from Tower towards I.I Chundrigar Road also faces great hardship.

It is ironic that the traffic police only displayed a banner near the filling station on Dr Ziauddin Ahmed Road, but did not bother to regulate traffic in order to minimise people’s miseries.

The situation gets even worse during the peak morning and evening rush hours.
