Protesting fishermen blockaded Karachi port, assembling their trawlers across the main channel to halt all traffic in and out of Pakistan's busiest port, officials said on Wednesday.

The fishermen from Sindh province were protesting restrictions on them entering the waters off neighboring Balochistan province.
