The exam was called off owing to the fourth day of protests and sit-ins at 11 locations of the city for the brutal killing of the Machh miners. Consequently, the main thoroughfare of the city has been blocked from Safari Park to NIPA Chowrangi.

The sit-ins are being held at the National Highway, Numaish Chowrangi, Abul Hasan Ispahani Road, and Kamran Chowrangi in Gulistan-e-Jauhar. Shahrah-e-Faisal, the main artery of the traffic in the city, was also blocked by protesters near Natha Khan Goth and Karachi Airport.

The prolonged blockade of roads at various locations caused traffic congestion in parts of the metropolis, creating difficulties for commuters.
