The Jam Sadiq Bridge, a key link between Korangi Industrial Area and Karachi, has been temporarily closed to all traffic. According to a Traffic Police spokesperson, the bridge will remain inaccessible from March 14 to March 17, between 7:00 AM and 2:00 PM daily. This closure is necessary to facilitate ongoing construction work, which requires the suspension of traffic during these hours.

To manage the situation, vehicles traveling from Akhtar Colony to Korangi Industrial Area will be rerouted through Korangi Causeway and SM Muneer Road, leading to Brookes Chowrangi. Likewise, traffic moving from Korangi Industrial Area toward Mahmoodabad will be redirected via Brookes Chowrangi to Surgeon Faiz Muhammad Khan Road.

The first total lunar eclipse of 2025 is set to occur on March 14 (Friday), as announced by the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD). This celestial event, often referred to as a “Blood Moon,” will be observable from regions including Europe, most of Asia, Australia, Africa, North and South America, as well as the Pacific, Atlantic, Arctic, and Antarctica. Unfortunately, the eclipse, known as “Chand Grahan” in Urdu, will not be visible in Pakistan, meaning residents of the country will miss the opportunity to witness it.

The PMD provided the following timeline for the eclipse: the penumbral phase will begin at 08:57 Pakistan Standard Time (PST), followed by the partial eclipse at 10:10. The total eclipse will commence at 11:26, reaching its peak at 11:59. The total phase will conclude at 12:31, with the partial eclipse ending at 13:48 and the penumbral phase wrapping up at 15:00.

NASA explains that a lunar eclipse occurs when the Sun, Earth, and Moon align in such a way that the Moon moves into Earth’s shadow. During a total lunar eclipse, the Moon enters the darkest part of Earth’s shadow, known as the umbra, causing it to take on a reddish-orange hue. This phenomenon is why lunar eclipses are sometimes called “Blood Moons.”
