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.
