Explain why Pakistan ,s coal mining production is much lower then that of countries that have less coal
Answers
Answer:
Balochistan. It is rich with high-quality coal with the highest rate of extraction in Pakistan. Coal is the main business in the area. More than 80% of the local population are directly involved in the coal business. The coal business is entirely in private hands, although only individuals and not companies are the owners.
Almost all Pushtun tribes in Duki including Nasar, Tareen, Luni and Dumar participate. The Nasar tribe has a large share, and is considered to be the master miners and businessmen. In the 2010s, the local coal tycoons were Sardar Akbar Khan, Nasar Kamalkhail, Sardar Masoom Khan Tareen and Tekadar Atha Muhammad Nasar.
In the Duki district coal is mainly under the control of the mine owners, the Petti Tekadars, and the coal agents. The mine owners are either land owners or hold extraction rights. Ownership is held by only a few families, mainly the sardars of different tribes. Petti Tekkadars do not own mines, rather they license them from the owners. Many Petti Tekaddars work in Dukki Tehsil. Coal agents help transport coal to other cities by becoming middlemen. At least 3000 metric tons of coal are transported to Punjab Province. The coal is mainly used in brick kilns and other factories such as textile and cement. The width of the coal seams vary from 6 inches to 9 feet.
On average 1000 coal mines operate with turnover of Rs.50 million daily.
Duki is the best private mining valley in Pakistan. More than 50% of the labor is from Afghanistan
Answer:
Pakistan has huge resources of coal that remain untapped with less than 1% contribution in the energy mix. It relies heavily on thermal energy which makes use of imported oil as a fuel source. Over the years, Pakistan has shifted from indigenously sourced fuel to imported fuel.Accidents in mining. Mining in Pakistan is a dangerous job, especially coal mining, as safety procedures are often neglected and accidents are quite common On 27 January, 2019, two miners died after being hit by a trolley inside a coal mine in Balochistan's coal-rich Dukki district on Sunday morning.
