At least one coal miner was killed after a gas explosion occurred in the Harnai coal mine. The incident took place in the Talib Leez area of the Harnai district of Balochistan. The explosion took place as a result of methane gas accumulation in the mine.

It’s not the first time that a person dies of a gas explosion in Harnai or any other part of Balochistan. The coal miners of Balochistan are at risk of life every time they enter the mine. This is because the miners are not given basic awareness to be safe from gas mine explosions and are left ignored by the mine owners.

The dead body of miner was brought to district health hospital and handed over to relatives of the deceased. The government of Balochistan and mine owners should organize awareness sessions for coal miners in order to prevent such incident taking lives of many miners in the province.
