Poor working conditions claiming precious human lives
Poor conditions without any proper safety continue to claim precious human lives in Dukki and other parts of Balochistan. Especially, such incidents are the order of the day in Dukki, which has rich coal reservoirs. Most of the coal miners belong to volatile Southern Afghanistan, Swat, and Shangla districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
