Karachi schools may close from November 19 to 22, 2024, because of the International Defense Exhibition and Seminar (IDEAS). The DIG Traffic requested the closure to manage traffic and ensure security during the event.
In a letter to the Karachi commissioner, the DIG Traffic proposed closing schools near Sharah-e-Faisal and Karsaz. This will help ease traffic congestion during the exhibition.
IDEAS 2024 is a significant international event, requiring strict security measures. Closing schools will reduce traffic disruptions in key areas.
PIA, the official partner of IDEAS 2024, is promoting the event on its planes.
The exhibition will run from November 19 to 22 at the Karachi Expo Centre. It plays a vital role in Pakistan’s arms trade, attracting many international delegates.
IDEAS started in 2000 and has been held at the Karachi Expo Centre every year. It promotes Pakistan’s defense industry and connects it with global vendors. The first event hosted 45 foreign delegations.
