Khuzdar: Chief Minister Balochistan Nawab Sanaullah Khan Zehri on Thursday has said that China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is a game changer not only for Pakistan but for the entire region and the elements who were trying to create misunderstanding about it were enemies of CPEC and the masses of Balochistan.

He said “The following the construction of CPEC roads, the second largest city of Balochistan Khuzdar will become the hub of trade activities and the Industrial Zone has already been approved in Bostan which would benefit the masses as enormous trade and industrial activities will take place in the aea. “
“Khuzdar is the cultural, economic and agricultural centre of the province and his forefathers have rendered huge sacrifices for the region.” Chief Minister said.
He said that the current tribal leaders, political figures and journalists are witness to the fact that how anti-development elements destroyed the peace of this city but, he said, their designs have been frustrated.
He also ensured about further development of Engineering University and other Universities in the Khuzdar.
