A protest by the legal community on Korangi Road in Karachi hadbrought traffic to a complete standstill, including the closure of the Qayyumabad flyover.

The protest, which began last night, had caused significant disruption to traffic flow on Korangi Road. Heavy traffic congestion is reported on the Qayyumabad flyover, trapping thousands of commuters on their way to work.
