The Karachi Police has issued a stern warning to the public regarding celebratory gunfire on New Year’s Eve, emphasizing that violators will face attempted murder charges. The move comes as part of a broader effort to ensure public safety during the celebrations.

Public Awareness Campaign

Announcements are being made across Karachi through mosques to inform residents about the grave consequences of celebratory gunfire. The campaign aims to deter dangerous practices and educate citizens about the legal and safety implications of such actions.

Police Measures

Inspector General (IG) Sindh revealed that patrolling, picketing, and snap checking will be intensified across roads, streets, and public areas to enforce the no-firing policy. Law enforcement agencies will remain on high alert to prevent any untoward incidents.

IG Sindh stated, “Celebratory firing puts innocent lives at risk. Those involved will face severe legal action, including charges of attempted murder.”

Traffic Plan for New Year’s Eve

In addition to security measures, a comprehensive traffic plan has been issued to manage the flow of vehicles and avoid congestion. Key road closures include:

  • Akhtar Colony to Sea View via Khayaban Ittehad
  • Do Talwar to Abdullah Shah Ghazi Mazar and onward to 26 Street
  • Club Road from PIDC Chowk

Motorists heading to Sea View and nearby areas will be redirected via 26 Street to ensure smooth traffic management.

Police Appeal

Karachi Police urges citizens to celebrate responsibly and cooperate with law enforcement to ensure a safe and enjoyable New Year’s Eve for everyone.

Conclusion

As the city gears up to welcome 2025, Karachi Police is taking proactive steps to maintain law and order. Strict enforcement of laws and a well-planned traffic strategy reflect the authorities’ commitment to public safety.
