Pakistan on Thursday again postponed approval of Rs36 billion project that had been designed to provide security to the Chinese nationals who would be engaged for the construction of multibillion-dollar Mainline-I (ML-I) project.
The project has been lingering for the past almost two years and could not win the nod of the authorities after the previous government excluded the security component from the $6.8 billion ML-I project of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).
The Rs36 billion worth of security provision for the up-gradation of Pakistan Railways’ ML-I project was presented to the Central Development Working Party (CDWP) for endorsement.
