One of Karachiâs oldest and best known neighbourhoods, Burnes Road, is fighting the Sindh government in court over its deputy commissionerâs decision to turn the area into a blocked-off pedestrian food street.
On Tuesday, the Sindh High Court heard their petition against the decision to block the road from 7pm to 2am so that it becomes a âfood streetâ. The court asked the Traffic DIG to submit a traffic plan by March 25. It asked about the number of roads, streets, and lanes that have been blocked, and options available to residents.
