The city experienced worst kind of traffic jam on Thursday as the City District Government Karachi (CDGK) closed down the road from Golimar Chowrangi to Lasbela to carry out development work. Citizens faced immense hardship as the closure of the road resulted in massive traffic jams at many places, including Chowrangi, Lasbela, Garden and Teen Hatti wherein traffic remained blocked for the entire day.
Both public as well as private transport remained stuck up on these places, while a limited number of traffic constables, present on the spots, also appeared helpless and could not manage the situation.
The private cars/vehicles remained stranded in traffic jams and the commuters travelling from public transport were also found helpless at many places as the normal routes of public transport were changed due to diversions.
The people while criticising the CDGK for the situation deplored it for not making any proper diversion plan in advance. They termed lack of co-ordination between the concerned CDGK officials and traffic police as the cause of the situation.
They said that both the authorities should have prepared a comprehensive traffic diversion plan in advance and also advertised it properly.
