After many years of closing off roads on new year’s eve, the Karachi City Police Department has reportedly decided not to do the same this year. As per a media report, all the roads leading to the major public places within the city will remain open today.
Although the Sea View Beach road will remain accessible, it will be converted into a one-way road starting from McDonald’s to The Village restaurant. People driving to the Sea View area at night can exit Edhi Avenue to Do Darya at Khayaban-e-Ittehad.
