  Parliamentary Secretary of Planning, Development and Reforms Saqlain Bukhari Thursday informed the National Assembly that funds have been allocated in Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP) for acquisition of land for western route of China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). Replying to a question, he said that the process of land acquisition for Havellian to D.I Khan motorway will start next year. He said that the $46 billion investment under CPEC would be allocated among three major sectors of the economy. The major chunk of $35 billion (77% of $46 billion) had been allocated to boost the energy sector while $9.5 billion and $1 billion (21% and 2%) will be spent on highways/railways and Gwadar respectively.
