Event

The Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) party plans to protest outside the Governor House in Karachi, March 31 to denounce the recent census report. Organizers have yet to announce the start time of the event. Public participation is unclear.

Authorities will likely increase security in the vicinity of Governor House. Localized disruptions are likely due to increased security measures and the presence of large numbers of people. Police may disperse crowds if gatherings become disruptive, possibly leading to clashes.

Advice

Avoid all protests. Plan routes circumventing the demonstration site and allow additional time for travel. Heed all official traffic and security advisories. Leave the area immediately if violence occurs.
