CPEC New road project gets underway
‘Game-changing’ road project gets underway
The first phase of ‘improvement’ of N-70 (national highway) has commenced with the funding of Japan (Cpec Publisher) .
Starting from Rakhi Gaaj-Khar-Bewata, the project aims to make the
hilly portion of the road wide and safe for #
Gwadar-bound cargo traffic with the installation of eight steel
bridges.
Mr Saulat Bhatti, the
project director, told Briefing Media Cell in Islamabad that the road
from Multan (Punjaba | Pakistan) to Qila Saifullah
place was being improved and widened to link it up with the road network under the
China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). Besides, Mr Saulat Bhatti said , work
on dual carriageway from Multan (punjab |pakistan) to Dera Ghazi
Khan(Punjab |PAKISTAN ) would soon commence on a BOT (build-operate-transfer)
basis and the process of mutation of land was under process.
“The first phase of East-West improvement of Nort -70 Sided road
from Rakhi Gaaj-Khar-Bewata has taken off with the astimated of
Rs14 billion (Fortheen Billon). These projects will be divided in three phases
at a cost of 23 billion (twenty three Billon Rupped) .”
Mr Bhatti said the hilly portion of Noth -70, which was
constructed in the late 19th century of histroy by the British engineers,
had seven difficult turns to Hardly to climb up the high mountain of Girdo to
reach For Munro or Bewata. “These turns are main hurdle for Gwadar bound heavy
cargo traffic services and there is a plan to make travel easier for Cargo
Servicess by using Japanese technology,” Mr Bhatti said.
Mr Saulat Bhatti said almost 33-kilometre long tough hilly portion
of North
(N) -70 would be widened and improved with installation of eight steel bridges having a total length of 1.5 kilometer (Cpec Publisher) .

The Japanese engineering company which had made Kohat tunnel was
working on this project too, he said, adding that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif
would be the work on first phase soon.
District Police Officer Atta Muhammad told Media Cell in Islambad
that 180 personnel of the Special Protection Unit, district and Elite police
had been deployed at the site for the North (N)-70 project. The Border MilitaryPolice (BMP) would ensure protection of the engineers and labourers undertaking
the project, he added.
The hilly portion of Dera-Taftan Road from Rakhi Gaaj to high mountain of Girdo was constructed in the late 19th century by the British rulers as part of “strategic forward policy” in the subcontinent.
Quoting his great grandfather, a labourer working on the (current)
project told this correspondent that it was one of the most difficult terrains
to work on but after completion, it brought about positive changes in the lives
of tribal people.(Cpec Publisher)

Peoject Number 3 : Pakistan water security made part
of China Pakistan Economic
Corridors (CPEC) Project
Pakistan and China decided to
make water security a part of the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC)
framework amid threats by India to review its position on the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty.
The decision to exploit full hydel potential of Pakistan was taken during the sixth meeting of the Joint Cooperation Committee (JCC) of the China Pakistan Economic Corridors (CPEC).
The Joint Cooperation Committee (JCC) also decided, in principle, to make the mass transit projects of all four provinces part of the China Pakistan Economic Corridors (CPEC).
Pakistan may face a very severe water crisis and for economic and food security of the country, the immediate construction of Diamer Bhasha is crucial Areass.
For more than two decades, Pakistan has been trying to construct the Diamer Bhasha dam that has an estimated cost of $16 billion (CPEC Media).
The Indus River is a source of more than 18 Giga Watts (GW) of hydropower capacity in India and Pakistan and feeds the Indus Basin.
Ahsan Iqbal said that the sixth Joint Cooperation Committee (JCC) has taken the China Pakistan Economic Corridors (CPEC) to the next level, which will ensure Pakistan’s industrialization and inclusion of all the provinces (CPEC News Media Cell).
