KARACHI (HRNW) Amid confusion over the decision of the Sindh government to seal certain areas of Karachi where confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus have been recorded in high numbers, two union councils in Gulshan-e-Iqbal were declared a ‘Red Zone’ on Monday by the city administration.
Deputy Commissioner East early on Monday issued fresh directives in this regard under which Union Council (UC) 8 and UC 9 have been completely sealed, police officials said.
“No one would be allowed to enter and leave the area without any strong reason and that too only after showing CNIC to the law enforcement personnel,” a police official added.
On Sunday, several areas in District East were completely sealed off resulting in immense conveyance troubles for residents, patients, as well as employees of essential services.
Water tankers, buses, and trucks were parked at Jauhar Chowrangi and Jauhar Morr, while all the roads leading towards Dalmia and Drigh Road were completely blocked.
