Nawaz Sharif, et tu Brute?

[Abisafyan]

PM, Nawaz Sharif's courtier, Birbal Ahsan Iqbal, the Federal Minister for Planing & Development Commission has shared some pictures with great trumpet on social media to misguide the people, particularly in KPK and Balochestan about the underway construction works of the so called western route of the CPEC.
I am posting a few of them herewith just to confirm from his materials, what's the worth of the capacity, size, construction standard and strength of the so called western route of the CPEC?
This route is comprised of a single way road having only two lanes.
Whereas China's presumable high tonnage of transnationals shipment by means of multi axels mega trucks and mega oil tankers would never be practicable to be handled over it. This is not a route at all, this is just a spider's woven web!
This under construction route is in fact comedy of the century being played and staged in the country by none other than multi-umras performer federal minister of the country.
The bridge, which is appearing in one of the picture can never be used even by ordinary vehicle let alone by the multi axels mega trucks and oil tankers!
The so called western route is shown on paper as well as on ground as under construction, which will connect Gwadar to D I Khan through Turbat, Hoshab, Panjgur, Besima, Qalat, Mastung, Quetta Pashin, Qila Saifullah and will pass onwards as NA 55, is not at all the route of CPEC. It's just an eyewash and joke being played with the people of KPK and Balochestan.
The long term or real alignment of the CPEC is through the eastern route, which is under construction in the guise of motorway as dual way carriage comprised of 6 lanes, 3 each and which would be of far better standard of the existent motorway and which will connect the eastern route with Gwadar through 653 km long Makran Costal Highway or through Haiderabad Motorway.
When asked about capacity and size of the under construction so called western route of CPEC, the learned Birbal replied, this so called "western route will be updated in future whenever it will be felt necessary".
The ridiculous capacity, size, standard, strength of the road as well of the structures of bridges in pictures, would lead one to only one conclusion that's the Humpty Dumpty master (NS) and his Birbal both are just joking with the nation.
If a dual carriage, (six lanes) is not necessary at the commencement of the CPEC, why have they commenced work on the eastern route or sorry to say Punjab Route as dual carriage with 6 lanes from the outset?
If a long term and permanent dual carriage 6 lanes carpet road would be available as eastern route of the CPEC what far the western ridiculous route would be chosen to be used?
Nawaz Sharif had quite earlier announced the Lahore-Karachi motorway, before the announcement of the CPEC for the purpose of providing a guise to the Eastern Route of the CPEC!
I don't know how NS put such a strong top over the mouths of the so called Pakhtun and so called other nationalist leaders on the issue?
I have never talked about provincialism nor I believe in provincialism, rather I hate the so called blackmailer nationalist leaders!
However when I am observing the whole scheme and the narrowest mindset of Nawaz Sharif I have left with no option but to fore alert the nation and term it as Punjab Poison, which is more disastrous for the country than anything else!
I request COAS for early harnessing of the PM, lest he may wreak havoc to the national integrity!
Nawaz Sharif personal investment may please be also discovered in endia and he be restrained of laying or hatching eggs in a hindu hostile country.

مجھے ایک بات کی سمجھ نہیں آتی کہ چین تین روٹس کیوں استعمال کرے گا ؟ جبکہ اسے صرف ایک یا زیادہ سے زیادہ دو راہداریوں کی ضرورت ہو گوادر تک پہنچنے کے لیے .. مشرقی روٹ تو صرف پاکستان کے بڑے شہروں کے مال کو گوادر لانے کے لیے موزوں ہے چین کے لیے بلکل نہیں کیونکہ فاصلہ وسطی اور مغربی روٹس کی نسبتاً کافی زیادہ ہو گا کوئی صاحب اس پر روشنی ڈالیں گے

Great to read you after long time, Hawk Bro

This map is self explanatory with legends in left upper corner.

Information from planning guys is that up till a year ago, there were only two routes planned but Noon Govt under pressure from little economic progress inserted third route (Green) and in fact made it the first to be completed. This route is basically using more than fifty percent of existing road / motorway network. As it runs through densely urban populated areas, they feel, it will help them a lot politically (and lots of dosh as land in these areas is dirt cheap and they will be deciding exit points on motorways). This route is basically using more than fifty of existing motorways network and rest they plan to complete before end of 2017, in case of early elections.

Blue route, second to be completed is army preferred route as it gives them a strategic depth with changing political scenario in Northern areas. This goes through rather difficult terrain but BOSS wouldn't let it change.

Third route was just to link two but there is already talks to amend that and run it through as parallel than just inter-linking.

Thank you brother GeoG for elaborate and comprehensive reply. It means that Route 4 will be the shortest route.

Changes in this corridor has less to do with financial/economic feasibility and more to do with politics, which is OK under normal circumstances but it further cements the notion that he is primarily a PM of Lahore and Northern Punjab...

ساری منصوبہ بندی آج سے 50-100 سال بعد کے ممکنہ حالات کے حساب سے کی جاتی ھے، چین ایسا ھی ایک راھداری منصوبہ بھارت کے اندر بھی تعمیر کرنے جا رھا ھے، ھمارے ھاں کا مشرقی روٹ کسی وقت بھارتی روٹ سے منسلک کیا جا سکتا ھے، آنیوالے وقتوں میں امریکہ اور چین کے درمیان اس علاقے میں بالا دستی کے لیے جو رسہ کشی ھونی ھے، آج کے تجارتی روٹ جنگی اثاثوں میں بدل جانے ھیں، حتمی طور سے چین اس سارے علاقے کو اپنے آنگن کی طرح دیکھتا ھے، جیسے ایک زمانے میں بلقان کے ممالک ترکوں کے کنٹرول میں تھے
