The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government has decided to constitute a special force for security of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) in the province.
Official sources talking to media informed that two thousand and six hundred security personnel would be inducted for this purpose.
The process of recruitment would be completed by December this year costing ninety-six million rupees.
The force would be properly trained and equipped to successfully fulfill their responsibility in a proper way. The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government has now demonstrated, though belatedly, an aggressive ambition to draw its share from political benefits of the landmark China-Pak Economic Corridor (CPEC) for the province.
Previously, it wasted a lot of precious time in needlessly picking holes in the CPEC when it was required to concentrate on it and get what was due to it. However, the change of mind occurred only when Chief Minister Pervez Khattak paid a visit to China as part of a delegation. After that, he suddenly abandoned even slight opposition or voicing reservations over the CPEC. This was a positive transformation.
His attacking views, which he repeatedly publicly voiced, had caused unprecedented angst to China. While the federal government as well as China kept insisting that the CPEC was inclusive, aimed at the good of entire Pakistan, Khattak painted it as something against KP. The Awami National Party also held the same opinion. A total of nine projects that the KP government now wants to be included in the CPEC may earn the approval of the federal administration as well as China, but unless they were greatly pushed, physical work on them is unlikely to kick-start in the next several months because a considerable time is required for the procedural requirements and paperwork.
