Sit-in protests at various locations of Karachi continued for the seventh consecutive day today (Monday), with demonstrators showing solidarity with the people in Kurram district, where lack of medical access has claimed over 130 lives in recent weeks, reported the 24NewsHD TV channel.
Sit-ins are ongoing at Namaish Chowrangi, Shahra Faisal, Golimar, North Karachi Power House Chowrangi, University Road, Abu-ul-Hassan Isfahani Road, Abbas Town, Five Star Chowrangi, Surjani Town, Gulistan-e-Jauhar, and Kamran Chowrangi.
Due to sit-ins and traffic jams, people are facing a lot of difficulties. Traffic police opened one road for traffic on both sides, while the Natha Khan Bridge located on Shahrah-e-Faisal was opened after the end of the protest.
The road from Drug Road to the airport was closed for traffic, due to which citizens are facing a lot of difficulties.
According to the channel report, Karachi police attempts to negotiate with protesters failed.
