At Political level 1. Nnacta had been been made more effective after recent attack on bacha khan university to 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.

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 power shortage on a fast-track, and take full advantage of its geographical location.
