The Punjab government bolsters security for Pakistan’s autonomous Chinese community.

In an effort to strengthen security measures for Chinese citizens in Pakistan, the Punjab government has launched an extensive study that is centred on Chinese nationals who enter the nation as independent individuals.

The Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) has reportedly established a specialised Chinese Security Intelligence Unit to supervise and improve security procedures.

Alternative surveillance and security measures are required because it has been observed that many independent Chinese citizens do not use mobile applications. This information has been communicated to Chinese authorities.

“Recent high-level apex meetings have prioritised the security of Chinese residents as a critical concern,” Punjab Home Department sources revealed. The security preparations for their independent residents living in Pakistan have been communicated to Chinese authorities as part of these efforts.

In order to expedite security monitoring, the Home Department intends to mandate Chinese residents use a certain mobile application, which will enable them to monitor more effectively and guarantee quick response times in the event of an emergency.

Moreover, 50 bomb-proof cars are now present in both CPEC and non-CPEC projects. This growth comes from previous years. The Services & General Administration Department (S&GAD) has also set up a special bomb-proof car pool to support operating requirements and emergency scenarios.

These actions are a part of the continuous efforts by Pakistani authorities to protect the interests of Chinese people living and working in Pakistan and to promote bilateral security cooperation. The government of Punjab is steadfast in its commitment to upholding a safe atmosphere that fosters China-Pakistan cooperation and economic projects.

The long-awaited K-4 water project, which was intended to alleviate Karachi’s water shortage, has become a pipe dream for the people of the city. Even after almost 20 years, the project is still unfinished, and half of Karachi lacks a sufficient supply of water.

Fifty percent of the project’s current phase has been finished, according to WAPDA. Deadlines for the project were originally scheduled for 2023 and 2024, but they were missed. December 2025 has been added as the latest completion date.

Due to the delay, the project’s estimated cost has climbed from Rs126 billion to Rs180 billion. Moreover, the phase of augmentation, which is essential to guaranteeing water supply throughout Karachi, has not yet begun. This phase’s overall cost has increased by Rs10 billion, to Rs80 billion.

The city’s water crisis is made worse by the delay, and residents are still suffering.

Delivering water from the K-4 project to every part of Karachi requires the augmentation phase to be finished. However, with significant portions of the work still pending, the resolution of the city’s water crisis remains uncertain.
