monitor terrorist threats by gathering analyzing and then coordinating with police and
paramilitary forces all the intelligence based info with government to make immediate quick
and decisive action
But still flaws are present in working of Nacta as recent objection raised by army on
governance performance by ISPR. as police force who work in collaboration with nacta is
politicized.for example in Karachi
2. seminaries faced restrictions.members of different seminaries are arrested and some were
detained.
This issue can be deal by having complete record of every seminary in each city and then a
special cell is required to be made to control maintain the working of seminaries.according
to” hive” the NGO..there are 3.5 million children in about 35000 seminaries.but auqaf

perform such operation as General Raheel Sharif already told Afghanistan for hot pursuit.

CPEC Summary for Current Affairs 2017
China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is a series of under construction projects of worth more
than $50 billion across Pakistan. It is a 3,000-km long extensive network of roads, railways,
pipelines, special economic zones, dry ports, optical fiber cable network, and other energy and
infrastructure development projects across Pakistan.
The CPEC will link Kashgar in northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and
southwest Pakistan’s Gwadar Port in its Balochistan Province. China imports 60% of oil from
Persian Gulf. With the completion of CPEC, the distance for this import will reduce from 16,000 km
to a mere 5,000 km. And, it would take only 10 days instead of the current 45 days.
CPEC is considered as a golden opportunity for Pakistan to develop its infrastructure, overcome
