Now that CPEC is past the doubt stages and getting into full fledged ops, what's Pak's game plan? Make no mistake TTP/BLA etc. will be sent in droves from Afganistan. Now, how to eliminate these folks in irreplaceable numbers? Who knows Paks may be using stealth fighters for this purpose...

-Zero tolerance on any hindrances on the implementation of the National Action Plan.

-Exodus of Afghan Refugees to be paced up.

-15,000 troops of Special Security Division to protect CPEC projects, routes and Chinese nationals other than the regular security apparatus.
- Express routes for the CPEC bound traffic(no toll booths) to minimize the stoppages.
-Transponders installed on every CPEC bound vehicle for live 24/7 track and feed and on-call assistance with quick response time.
-Usage of Eastern route initially for its better road infrastructure and security situation.
-Highways Agency Surveillance CCTV system and other Intel transport applications .
-Escort teams (head and tail) for a pack of vehicles as per requirement.

Focus needed on Quetta and its suburbs. Cross border intelligence would be more lethal .

True that.... Sir, it was PA (COAS) assurance to the Chinese Premier w.r.t CPEC that China boosted interest into the project hence NS is in pain.

Are there any figures on how much trade volume will be there? It's impact on local economy etc ?

CPEC hasn't made any products other than machinery or construction materials duty free.

Pakistan already has an influx of cheap Chinese goods. These containers are destined for a foreign country via Gwader
