Stage set for Bilawal's rally at Mazar-e-Quaid to kick start long march
PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari is all set to kick start the anti-government long march today (Sunday) with his address to a rally at Mazar-e-Quaid.

The long march — led by the PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari — will start from Karachi and reach the capital in 10 days passing through 34 different cities.

All the arrangements for the long march have been completed, with PPP banners and flags put up across the city and the PPP workers excited for the venture.

Bilawal is expected to arrive at the venue of the rally at around noon.

The people willing to participate in the march will gather at Numaish Chowrangi and depart as a convoy.

The PPP had announced the long march to protest the inflation, hike in petroleum products prices and other measures taken by Prime Minister Imran Khan-led federal government.

Traffic plan

Keeping the commencement of Bilawal's long march, Karachi traffic police have worked out an alternate traffic plan to maintain the flow of traffic in the city despite the closure of some routes.

The traffic police say that the road leading from Gurumandir to Numaish Chowrangi, the starting point of the march, will be closed for traffic therefore the commuters may use the road leading to Soldier Bazaar from Gurumandir and the to Jail Road flyover using Jamshed Road.

Moreover, the general public will not be allowed to use the route from Society Chowrangi to the starting point. However, they can use the road leading to Jail Chowrangi from Society Chowrangi.

The road leading to New M.A Jinnah Corridor 3 from Regal Chowrangi will also be closed for the general public therefore they may take the road to Shahrah-e-Faisal through Lucky Star from Saddar Dawakhana.

Meanwhile, the flow of traffic coming from University Road will be diverted to Shaheed-e-Millat Road at Jail Chowrangi, while the traffic coming from Jamshed Road will be diverted to Soldier Bazaar.
