Governor Think Second letter to SHC CJ


The governor of Sindh, Kamran Tessori, has written a second letter to the Superior Court of Sindh (SHC) President of the Supreme Court, urging immediate measures on the growing number of deaths due to traffic in Karachi.

In his letter, Tessori highlighted administrative negligence and legal violations as important causes of fatal accidents in the city.

The governor expressed concern about a recent incident in which four citizens lost their lives in one day.

He pointed out that despite a court order that restricts heavy traffic to enter the city between 7 am and 11 pm, non -compliance complaints continue to increase.

Governor Tessori asked the Superior Court to guarantee a strict involvement of his orders to avoid new tragedies.

Previously, the Karachi Division Commissioner Syed Hassan Naqvi announced a complete prohibition of heavy traffic in the city during the day during the next two months.

The decision aims to mitigate the growing number of traffic accidents caused by heavy vehicles and improve traffic flow in the city.

The prohibition, effective from February 14 to April 13, 2025, restricts the movement of dumpeters that transport construction materials, mixing machines and other heavy traffic within the boundaries of the city from 10:00 am to 6:00 p.m

However, vehicles that transport essential products, which include water, edible oil, medical gases that save lives and other related goods, will be exempt from this restriction.

Since January 1, 2025, at least 108 people have died in traffic accidents in Karachi, according to official data.
