The Sindh High Court (SHC) on Thursday ordered the provincial government to make University Road in Karachi fully operational within two months, addressing years of traffic chaos and commuter misery on the city's busiest corridor.
The court's directive came during a hearing on a petition regarding the poor condition of the road, which has been plagued by broken surfaces and congestion. The SHC declared that the government must complete all necessary repairs and ensure the road is usable for the public within the stipulated timeframe.
Details of the court order were not immediately available, but the ruling underscores growing judicial pressure on authorities to improve infrastructure in Pakistan's largest city. Commuters have long complained about delays and hazards on University Road, a key artery connecting central Karachi to northern suburbs.
