It is heartening to note that the Gwadar port is going to have its own shipyard. According to naval chief Admiral Zafar Mahmood, the work on this project will begin anytime soon; it will be completed in three to four years. This is a big news. As stated by the naval chief, global scenario in general and regional geo-political situation in particular warrant concrete and long-term policy decisions for achieving self-reliance.
No doubt, a shipyard will add to the value of natural deep sea port Gwadar. It will also help create a large number of new job opportunities for the people of Balochistan in particular.
