The Sindh government announced a comprehensive crackdown on illegal encroachments on Karachi's main roads, including University Road, during a meeting chaired by Sindh Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon. The decision, which will prioritize major roads and routes used by the People's Bus Service, involves the police, city administration, and the transport department working together to remove illegal structures and obstructions.
The government aims to restore smooth traffic flow, reduce fuel expenses, and improve public transport for citizens. The crackdown will include the relocation of illegal bus terminals outside the city to alleviate traffic pressure. University Road, affected by the ongoing Bus Rapid Transit Red Line project, has long faced severe congestion, with officials pledging to make the road "100 per cent motorable" by September 15.
