CPEC, China Pakistan Economic Corridor

  The China Pak economic corridor is a major deal between Pakistan and China. Mostly this deal was done in order to develop economic prosperity in both countries and as well facilitate the local people of Gawder. Many people claimed that this deal would prove to be a huge step which brings several opportunities for the people of Balochistan. Now the question rises here: why the province is not yet developed? Lastly, our leaders must not forget since the long time, the province is not developed then how it is possible that this CPEC will change the destiny of Balochistan people. How it would be the symbol of change? I want to request to the Government of Pakistan to bring a best solution about this issue.   Adnan Dost Turbat
