Sindh’s Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah has said that Thar is the solution to the energy woes of Pakistan.
Sindh CM Shah expressed these views during a meeting with China’s Consul General in Karachi Li Bijian.
A Chinese diplomat visited Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah and the two discussed energy projects using Thar coal, according to the Sindh CM’s spokesperson today.
“Chinese cooperation has proved a landmark in power generation from coal deposits in Thar,” the chief minister said. “Chinese companies are increasing power generation from coal in Thar,” he further said.
Pakistan is experiencing a severe energy crisis, which has had a negative effect on the economy of the country. The government says that generating energy from the large coal deposits in Sindh’s dry Thar region would solve the nation’s energy issues.
