MPA Maulana Hidayat-ur-Rehman Baloch commended the initiative and encouraged both local and foreign investors to invest in Gwadar, praising the port operator’s efforts in bolstering security.
Jahangir Sabir, a local travel agent, emphasized that this security upgrade is crucial for Gwadar’s economic growth, stating that the PSS acts as an “insurance policy” for future developments, including the tourism, hotel, and retail industries.
Additionally, the Balochistan government is advancing the Gwadar Safe City Project. The first phase has progressed with the creation of a Project Management Unit (PMU) and the completion of technical and financial feasibility reports, aligned with the Gwadar Smart Port City Master Plan 2025.
