Karachi Traffic Police Ramadan Plan To Manage Pre-Iftar Congestion

As Ramadan progresses, Karachi's traffic management has become a critical issue, prompting the local traffic police to implement a comprehensive plan aimed at alleviating congestion during peak hours. The plan includes a ban on water tankers from 4:00 pm to 6:30 pm, the busiest time before iftar, to ease traffic flow. According to the DIG Traffic, "Our top priority is to ensure smooth traffic movement and help citizens reach home on time for iftar." Additional measures include deploying extra personnel at major intersections and enforcing a zero-tolerance policy against vehicles without number plates. The authorities have also introduced digital monitoring systems to enhance enforcement, with officers equipped to issue e-challans on the spot, reflecting a modern approach to traffic management (ProPakistani, February 25, 2026).
