Water for Gwadar
By our correspondents
September 26, 2016
The Gwadar Port project started on March 22, 2002. The Port of Singapore Authority was hired for its management. It has been given the status of a free port (a place where goods may be unloaded, stored and shipped without payment of customs duties and which is open under equal conditions to all traders). This is to boost trade and commercial activities. In January 2013 the contract for the Gwadar Port operations was formally given to China.
Unfortunately, the city of Gwadar is facing an acute shortage of drinking water after a three-year drought in Balochistan. The government is hoping that Gwadar will become an international business hub. But the city needs water first.
