CPEC: PR terms advertisement on ML-1 fake

Lahore: The Pakistan Railways (PR) has said that no contract for upgradation of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC)’s Maine Line 1 (ML-1) project was issued so any advertisement in this regard was fake.

According to the PR spokesperson, a firm naming BHWES had uploaded an advertisement to the social media sites for employment of several workers for upgradation of ML-1 and Havelian Dryport. The firm had also uploaded a voice message in this regard.

The spokesperson informed that the PR had not yet published any advertisement for the upgradation of ML-1 project or establishment of any dry port near Havelian as this project had not yet been initiated.

He remarked that the advertisement was baseless as the CPEC authority or the railways did not publish any advertisement without the permission of the team leader.
