Balochistan corridor

By our correspondents
February 07, 2016

I congratulate and appreciate Nawaz Sharif’s government on the completion of a 193km-long road in Balochistan that forms part the CPEC. The project’s success has been a challenge for the government because of the volatile situation in Balochistan.

But what was observed during the PM’s visit was the peaceful environment of the region which was a rare sight after all these long years of turmoil. For instance, areas like Hoshab have been marked as security risk and a no-go area, but it was good to see General Raheel Sharif driving PM Nawaz Sharif around. We welcome peace in our province, and hope that Balochistan will be developed soon.
