The Sindh Government has discovered 3 billion tons of coal reserves in block 1 of Thar coalfield, Thar.
The discovered reserves are the second largest deposits of coal in Pakistan, according to the official notification issued by the provincial government. The reserves of the coals are equivalent to 5 billion barrels of crude oil.
Pakistan has coal deposits in Sindh, Punjab, and Balochistan. The total coal resources of Pakistan are reported to be approximately 185 billion tons.
Pakistan ranks 38th in the world for Coal consumption, accounting for about 0.9 percent of the world’s total consumption of 1,139,471,430 tons.
The Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah congratulated the masses of the country for the discovery of rich coal reserves which will be enough for the generation of electricity and various other purposes in the future.
He said the discovery is tantamount to the development and progress of Tharparkar district and the province at large.
Coal available, since last many years, but our donkey’s don’t know how to use it. They should put coal on their faces and hang themselves publicly.
Not only coal, we have many more like recodiq and Pink Salt mine but we have made an awful mess of it Due to corrupt authorities and Ignorant govt.
Yes very true, the visionless past governments never took the matter seriously, they failed to differentiate between the countries priorities.
Agreed about pink salt, it’s nutritious with many health benefits, and its the most natural form of salt readily available in khewra mines and other parts of the himalayan range. Yet it’s the bleached (of nutrients) salt that is consumed by most of Pakistan, while pink salt is used for industrial purposes (ideally, pink salt should have been widely used for consumption while bleached (white salts) should have been used by industry).
Alhumdolillah brother’s, please we should have look forward for our Pak homeland, let qualified people’s think together combined efforts without racism, please brother’s Allah like Mutawakkileen.
We are listening coal discovery for last 20 years and still we import coal when will we able to use our own coal??
Are we still unable to market punk salt? Why do we sell our pink salt to India for a pittance,when they rebrand it they sell it for over 10 fold.are we Pakistanis that illiterate? Or is some government officer getting bribed by india?
