The Pakistan Army has brought out a comprehensive series of initiatives aimed at fostering progress and development in the port city of Gwadar.
Historically overlooked by past governments, Gwadar is now receiving much-needed attention.
Last March, the Army Chief made an announcement of allocating a substantial 500 million towards transformative projects that will reshape the city's landscape.
These far-reaching initiatives cover a range of sectors and reflect the Pakistan Army's commitment to improving the lives of Gwadar's residents. Notable projects include:
The fisheries sector will see significant improvements, with the provision of 500 fishing nets to empower local fishermen. Plans also include upgrading the fish auction hall and introducing solarization measures.
Gwadar is set to benefit from the construction of 12 shops, offering employment opportunities to unemployed fishermen.
Moreover, the Army is offering free education to 200 children from fishing families, promising a brighter future for the city's youth.
Healthcare in Gwadar will be strengthened by the construction of nine basic health units and centres dedicated to rehabilitating drug addicts, addressing critical health concerns.
The city's water supply is expected to see enhancements, with plans to construct 13 RO water plants and the provision of solar panels for 1270 households, ensuring improved access to clean water.
Sports and recreation will also receive a boost, with the construction of two football grounds and a state-of-the-art boxing arena.
These initiatives underscore the Pakistan Army's dedication to enhancing the welfare of the people of Gwadar.
This transformation is part of the Army's broader commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of citizens throughout the country.
