Pakistan fortifying Gwadar on pressure from China Pakistan fortifying Gwadar on pressure from China
Pakistan allots millions of funds to increase security around Gwadar, based on China s request. Gwadar, which is a key port in the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, will be an extremely high surveillance area and will fortify the people living in the region. 12:41 PM
Pakistan has now started erecting a wall of barbed fencing around Gwadar city, which will seal off the heart of Gwadar city, leaving only one entry point and one exit point for the city’s residents. This has started after China pressurized Pakistan because it was worried about the safety of their men as well as the machines stationed at the port. The Gwadar port, located on the coast of Arabian Sea in the Balochistan province, is being used by the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) and will be developed as a military base

QUETTA, Pakistan Residents of Gwadar, a city of 90,000 in Balochistan province of Pakistan, are up in arms over barbed wire fencing that’s keeping them out of the area around the city’s new port.
The government is fencing off 24 square kilometers (9.3. square miles) to protect the Chinese-built deep seaport from insurgents. The resource-rich province of Balochistan, which is central to China’s Belt and Road Initiative, has been plagued by sectarian violence, attacks by Islamist militants, and a separatist insurgency that has left thousands of casualties since 2004.,
“Barbed wires are being installed now, but the psychological fencing of Gwadar city had been done years ago by placing check posts and barriers,” said Javed Maula Bakhsh, a local student.
