As predicted in my earlier tweet Chinese engineers have not only stopped work in Dassu but also in Basha and Tarbela. Chinese high powered delegation is in Islamabad to review the security situation. Discontinuation of work for a longer period will not only affect the completion dates but also escalate the costs. It is for the Pakistani Govt to alley the apprehensions of the Chinese Govt and review/ reset it's security apparatus as there is no more room left for negligence
