Karachi Remained Two Road Closed – (Web Desk) – Two major roads in Karachi remained closed for the second consecutive day on Monday following protests against recent US and Israeli strikes on Iran. The city faced severe traffic disruptions, especially near the US Consulate, where demonstrations began on Sunday.

Key areas, including PIDC, Boat Basin, and Tower, are still blocked. Containers have been placed from PIDC Chowk to the MT Khan Road bridge, with additional barriers in Sultanabad on MT Khan Road. Molvi Tamizuddin Road remains closed from Mere Weather Tower, and the route from Boat Basin to Mai Kolachi Bypass is also blocked. Police and Rangers are stationed outside the American Consulate in rotating shifts.

Schools in affected neighborhoods were closed due to the roadblocks. Earlier, the route from PIDC Chowk to Dr. Ziauddin Ahmed Road leading to the Chief Minister’s House was temporarily blocked but reopened in the afternoon. Sharea Faisal near the FTC flyover towards Metropole was also briefly closed for protests but later reopened.

Authorities had blocked all roads leading to the consulate. On Sunday, a traffic police post under the Sultanabad bridge was set on fire. Police reportedly used shelling near the Central Police Office on II Chundrigar Road to disperse a rally, while another protest took place at the Native Jetty Bridge near the Customs House.
