KARACHI: Gwadar port cannot be made operational before 2011 as it lacks required infrastructure, communication network and utilities, Minister for Ports and Shipping Qamaruzzaman Kaira said on Tuesday.
âI am shocked to learn that the port has no proper road linkages. No rail network. Even electricity is not there,â he told reporters after inaugurating an overpass on MA Jinnah Road.
He said many cases of embezzlement, corruption and misuse of authority were reported in the Gwadar port, and other allied projects. App
