Muslims around the globe, each year, celebrate Rabiul Awwal’s twelfth day to honor Prophet Muhammad’s (Peace Be Upon Him) birth. This event holds grand processions across Karachi, the most populated city in Pakistan, in line with the Eid Miladun Nabi festivities.
Planned Routes and Street Blockades
This Tuesday foresees three main processions passing through MA Jinnah Road—an important city life-line. Consequently, to enhance processional flow, MA Jinnah Road along with neighboring streets will be blocked off for the entire day.
Principal Diversions for Traffic
Vehicles approaching from M Arkiani Chowk will be rerouted down Chowrangi Road, under the directives of Karachi traffic police. This decision aims at minimizing traffic gridlock and retaining order amidst large gatherings of worshippers joining the processions.
Vehicles coming from Empress Market, another notable point, will be directed towards Zaibunnisa Street. Likewise, traffic from Aram Bagh via Sharea Liaquat will be detoured towards Shaheen Complex to keep the procession path uncongested.
Detour Routes for Regular Commuters
Regular users of University Road will be led to Kashmir Road through Jail Flyover as a measure to bypass usual heavy-traffic routes. Commuters heading towards People’s Chowrangi are asked to use Shahra e Quaideen or Corridor-III, while vehicles from Guru Mandir—a busy crossroad—will be directed towards Central Jail. Additionally, vehicles from Lasbela will be barred from entering MA Jinnah Road. The police plead with motorists to organize their travels before time and follow these detour routes to avoid any hold-ups.
Fostering Public Safety and Governmental Initiatives
The city’s governing body, together with traffic police, is striving to confirm a safe and organized flow of events planned for the day. On the other hand, a public conversation about declaring Rabiul Awwal 11th day as a holiday is sparking attention, backed by political figures like Sindh Governor Kamran Tessori.
This diversion plan is a crucial part of the city’s efforts to balance public celebration with safety. As the day approaches, citizens are encouraged to follow the police’s guidance for a smooth and respectful observance of this sacred day.
