KARACHI: The Commissioner Karachi Division Syed Hassan Naqvi has imposed a complete ban on the movement of heavy vehicles on Jinnah Avenue, from Super Highway (M-9 Karachi–Hyderabad Motorway) near Saima Pari Classic and Rufi Global City up to Malir Halt and Shahrah-e-Faisal.

As per the details, the decision, issued under Section 144 of the CrPC, aims to ensure smooth traffic flow and improve road safety across the city. The ban was implemented following a request from the Deputy Inspector General of Police (Traffic), Karachi, and recommendations from the Secretary of the Regional Transport Authority (RTA).

The alternate route will remain open for the movement of heavy vehicles during permitted hours to prevent congestion on major city roads.
