02:19So between 4 to 5, we couldn't go to the big cities of Karachi because we weren't allowed to go.
02:26That's why we are showing you a special road scene in Gulbukh, Karachi.
02:32And in that you will see more, that in that area, when the lockdown was over at 5,
02:38what was the situation near 6, how was the market looking after 6.
02:42And after 6, after 3 more hours, at 9 at night, when it was completely dark in Karachi,
02:48what was the market looking like at that time, that too we are showing you in this report.
02:53Such a scene can be seen at 4 at night, because Karachi is a city of lights,
02:57which opens at 10 in the morning, but closes at about 2 at night, in normal days.
03:03You can't even imagine how crowded the city is at 9 at night in a city of such lights.
03:09But because of the lockdown, what facilities are coming here, see that report and meet our other friends
03:15who are giving you more information from Italy, Australia, Hong Kong, Saudi Arabia and America.
03:26So, now I am taking you to the area of Gulbukh.
03:31I could have shown you the big roads of Karachi in this commentary,
03:36but for that we have used footage from different news channels, because we can't go there.
03:42Our access is only within our area, and due to the situation of lockdown, we can only roam within our area.
03:51I am currently in the area of Gulbukh in Karachi, and my residence is near the main Gulbukh Chorongi.
03:57And there I will show you some glimpses of the market of the same Chorongi.
04:02But how?
04:04As I have told you, the further strictness in Karachi,
04:08there was a lockdown from 12 am to 8 am, and from 8 am to 12 pm, the markets were open.
04:17But only specific markets, in which you have Parchun's Kriyani Stores, Medical Stores, Daoud Dahi shops,
04:23and restaurants were allowed to take away, but you could not sit inside the restaurants and eat.
04:30So the lockdown was made even more strict,
04:34that from 9 am to 5 pm, i.e. from 9 to 5, you can only open the market,
04:42and from 5 to 9, i.e. from 5 pm to 9 am, the market will be completely closed.
04:48Not a single person will be allowed to go out.
04:51And during this time, the permission to open the markets,
04:55there are only Kriyani Stores, Medical Stores, and Daoud Dahi shops,
05:00while the restaurants have also been completely closed.
05:04The factories have also been closed, the majority of the factories have also been closed,
05:07because some people also arrange to eat there, people stand there and eat and drink.
05:12And the rush has been completely removed.
05:14I will also show you something in my glimpses,
05:17that regular circles have been made in some shops,
05:201, 2, 3, 4, 5, so that people are standing on those circles from a distance,
05:24to maintain the distance.
05:26Ropes have been tied in front of some shops, so that people are standing in a queue.
05:29So, such are the circumstances.
05:31So, now I will show you a view of Gulbakhi Market,
05:35by fitting this camera on my bike, so this camera will be a little shaky,
05:39for which I apologize in advance, but I want to show you some glimpses.
05:43I will show you three glimpses of the same area.
05:45The first glimpse is that you are an hour before the lockdown,
05:49that is, I will show you the condition of the market at around 4 o'clock.
05:53And after that, when the lockdown will be over at 5 o'clock,
05:56that is, I will show you a glimpse of the same market again at around 5.15.
06:00And after that, at 9 o'clock at night, when it gets completely dark,
06:03and now it is being started at midnight, because it gets so dark,
06:07and only the streetlights, which are yellow and orange in color, are on,
06:11which are giving you a view of 4 o'clock at night.
06:13So, at 9 o'clock at night, I will show you the same market again.
06:16So, before that, let's go to that market and see what the lockdown situation is there.
06:23Now, let's go to that market.
06:26And now you can see that there is one hour left before the lockdown.
06:31That is, it is 4 o'clock now.
06:34And here is the market.
06:39You can see the market in the distance.
06:52But right now, the main restaurants and markets are closed.
07:12And the last hour before the lockdown, we see such a rush,
07:16such a rush as before Iftar, that people are making their purchases early.
07:22You can see this medical store behind me.
07:25There is a lot of rush here. You can see this road.
07:27The rush is at its peak.
07:29And as this hour progresses and the time of lockdown approaches,
07:33this rush will also increase.
07:35And when the time of lockdown is near,
07:37all police mobiles will come on the roads with loudspeakers
07:39and announce that these shops are closed.
07:42Right now, only grocery stores are open.
07:47Milk shops are open and medical stores are open.
07:50Right now, there is an order to open only three shops.
07:53And the restaurants and other shops are also completely closed.
08:00And right now, I am at Gulbukh Chowdhury.
08:02You just saw that I have reached Gulbukh Chowdhury with the staff of 5C.
08:07And now there is one hour left before the lockdown.
08:10Right now, there is a lockdown in Karachi at 5pm.
08:13And we are passing through this road at around 4pm.
08:17And you will see a lot of rush here.
08:20There is a rush everywhere.
08:25And right now, everywhere...
08:28And you can see the traffic behind me.
08:31This is a medical store behind me.
08:33And you can see a police mobile far away near Chaurangi.
08:39And every corner of Chaurangi, there is a police mobile for security.
09:04Right now, it is time for Asr prayer.
09:07The sound of Azan has spread everywhere.
09:11And it has been 10 minutes since the lockdown.
09:15Earlier, I took you to Gulbukh Bazaar at around 4pm.
09:22And there was one hour left before the lockdown.
09:24And I showed you the situation at that time.
09:26Right now, it is 5.10pm.
09:28And there is a lockdown in Karachi at 5pm.
09:30Now, we will go to the same bazaar again and see what is the situation there.
09:34And what is the situation on the road.
09:38I will show you the road ahead.
09:41You can see, there is a lot of traffic on that side.
09:47And on the other side, there is a market.
09:50This is the same bazaar where I was standing a few days ago.
09:53Now, there is a lot of water coming in from the river.
09:58And there is a lot of traffic on that side as well.
10:12This is the same road from where I was standing an hour ago.
10:17And you can see, all the shops behind me are closed.
10:20The lockdown has started.
10:22People are sitting in their cars and going out.
10:25And at the corner of the main road, there are rangers standing.
10:29They are roaming around with their mobile phones.
10:31All the markets are closed right now.
10:33And the lockdown starts at 5pm.
10:35Now, it is 5.15pm.
10:36And the lockdown has been completed.
10:40You can see, the ropes have been put in front of the shops.
10:43So that people can stand in a queue.
10:45And they can't make a mess.
10:47This is a shop of Gurbakshin Pakdood.
10:49And all the other shops of Gurbakshin Pakdood are closed.
10:53This shop is open so that the milk and yoghurt doesn't get spoiled.
10:57That's why it is being taken out.
10:59Now, we are going to Gurbakshin.
11:19Right now, we are leaving Gurbakshin at 9pm.
11:25As you can see, there is a lot of smoke on the road.
11:35People are smoking.
11:47All the shops on the road are completely closed.
11:49We are really surprised to see such a scene at 9pm in Karachi.
11:57We have never seen such a scene at 9pm in Karachi.
12:01If there is a day time in Karachi at 9pm, then it becomes 4pm.
12:07Right now, I am passing through the market.
12:15I have shown you the market after the lockdown.
12:21And I have also shown you the market before the lockdown.
12:23This is the road at night.
12:33Right now, it is 9pm.
12:35Right now, it is 9pm.
12:37As you can see, all the shops are closed.
12:41We get to see such a scene only at 4pm in Karachi.
12:47But because of the lockdown, all the shops are closed at 9pm.
12:53And the road is completely silent.
12:55Only people are going out for important work.
12:59Right now, Karachi's lockdown situation is like this.
13:03Right now, I have shown you the scene of the market.
13:05The market was crowded at 9pm before the lockdown.
13:11Whereas, it is a cool street in normal days.
13:13And all the shops are closed.
13:33Karachi's lockdown situation is like this.
