Anwar Pasha,
That is a very good news. Sindh has lots of oil at Badin. It has gas reserviors and now coal. Only thing I am worried that, locals should be given priority in jobs whenever such mega projects are initiated. Locals lacking education, health care and lliving much below the poverty level and deserve all attention they needed from the government.
