Abstract
Abstract The socio-economic indicator bestows Balochistan which is the most deprived province of Pakistan. One of the primary reasons for it’s under development is not paying proper attention to this region by thefederal government. The government continuously exploiting the natural resources of the province and did not bother on its socio-economic development. It aroused the anger of the local people, and their grievances further led to the militancy that prevailed since last few decades. The current China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is destined to be the changing factor which will minimize poverty of the province. There are alleged attempts made by other major ethnic groups in the country. They tried to divert its routes from the poverty-stricken districts of Balochistan to developed Punjab regions. Research suggests that it should be the prime objective of the Chinese government to make sure the route goes through poor and conflict-ridden areas so that they get develop due to this project. This paper is based on secondary data and the results would be appealing for the concerned policymakers
