The Majlis-e-Wahdatul-Muslimeen (MWM) protests have blocked major arteries including M.A. Jinnah Road and Numaish Chowrangi, causing severe traffic disruptions across more than dozen key locations.
Odho also reported improved security metrics, citing a 13 percent reduction in violent crime and a 30 percent decrease in mobile phone snatching during 2024. Ahead of New Year celebrations, he warned of zero tolerance for aerial firing, with violators facing attempted murder charges.
