The city of lights is currently a mayhem of crisscrossed vehicles on the second day of the 8th International Defence Exhibition and Seminar (IDEAS).
Karachiites continue suffering in frustrations as major parts of the city have been blocked due to security issues. The daily commuters are facing hours of delays as severe traffic jam continues.
The direct route to Expo Centre, Hasan Sqaure Bridge has been blocked creating a chaos on University Road, Rashid Minhas Road, and Dalmia Road which are used as alternate routes to Hasan Square route by many.
Some Frustrated Karachiites took to micro-blogging site Twitter to express their anger while others decide to help by offering alternate route suggestions:
