Protest over water, power outages causes gridlock in Karachi’s Nazimabad

KARACHI: Fed up with power and water shortage, residents on Monday evening blocked both tracks of one of the major roads in Nazimabad, which triggered a traffic mess in several localities.

A large number of motorists and commuters remained stuck in the traffic jam on the road that connected Nazimabad with SITE area.

There were reports that street criminals took advantage of the traffic mess and deprived a number of motorists and commuters of their cash, cell phones and other valuables.
