Road to Bilawal House blocked prior to PTI protest

A road that leads to Karachi Bilawal House from BoatBasin has been blockaded with containers, police said Sunday.

It should be mentioned here that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) announced to stage a sit-in in front of Bilawal House today to protest against the blocked roads and wall around Bilawal House.

The Sindh government had earlier opened one side of the thoroughfare for the public as news of PTI protest spread. However, today, the roads were blocked again with containers and water tankers.

The PTI said the blockage of roads around Bilawal House over security concerns is causing serious troubles to the local residents of the area; hence, the roads should be opened for the common citizens.

According to traffic police, DIG South Abdul Khaliq Sheikh ordered the blockade.

A heavy contingent of police officers was also deployed in the area, while water cannon were put on standby.
