THE roads around Karachi’s Meena Bazaar are always blocked owing to traffic jams. From 1pm to 10pm it is difficult to get anywhere here.

The root cause for this is shopkeepers who’ve set up stalls illegally by encroaching on land.

This bazaar used to be known for its large variety of shops located next to a busy fruits and vegetable market next door. I request the Karachi Development Authority to look into this and help the common citizens of Karachi.
