As the procession exits Nishtar Park, all city traffic will be diverted to Nishtar Road from Soldier Bazar (Bahadur Yar Jung Road), Coast Guards, and Anklesaria Chowk. Drivers traveling from Nazimabad to MA Jinnah Road would be detoured from Lasbela Chowk via Nishtar Road, then Garden, in order to reach their destination.
