The CPEC Authority finally got legal cover in May 2021 with the unanimous passage of the Bill by the Senate in the absence of the opposition. While in opposition many PTI leaders had accused the PML(N) leaders of indulging in corruption while undertaking CPEC projects. Soon after assuming power, the PTI govt dropped a number of CPEC projects, including those connected with Gwadar city from the PSDP. Presently five CPEC power projects face delays. This was followed by CPEC Authority Chairman Asim Saleem Bajwa’s resignation.
