Hazardous working conditions inside coal mines of Balochistan
In Balochistan, hazardous working conditions inside coal mines have claimed scores of precious human lives. The coal companies appeared to be least bothered about the plight of coal miners. Incidents of methane gas blasts and other incidents are on a constant rise in Mach, Bolan, Harnai, Dukki, Sorange, Quetta, and other parts of Balochistan.
Despite repeated attempts, the Quetta Voice was not able to speak to the officials of the mines and minerals department Balochistan.
