Project not in safe hands, Dr Qadeer


Thar Coal project’s future seems suspicious and its execution in doldrums as renowned nuclear Scientist Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan has raised big questions on the competency of people working on the project.

Dr Qadeer said that the nation is being misguided about power generation through Thar Coal as fake claims being made that 50,000 mega watts energy could be produced.

Dr Khan said that fake claims have been made for the power generation from Thar coal. He declared it intellectual dishonesty. He made it clear that projects like Thar Coal and Reko Diq require investment of millions of dollars and state of the art equipment and technology.

He said that China has the technology and skill to extract coal from Thar reserves.

The father of Pakistan’s nuclear program and national hero, Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan has said that the country is passing through a very difficult period and country needs the sincere and honest leadership.

In a recent meeting with business community, Dr Khan said that the current state of the affairs is the consequence of ineptness and dishonesty of those sitting on the helms of the affairs.

He said that all the ministries and government departments are being run by those who did not have any know how of their respective department but busy in looting and plundering the country.

Dr Qadeer said that no country can survive without economic sovereignty and nation is crying for honest and able leadership. Dr Khan said that Pakistan has developed world’s most modern and cheapest nuclear technology as we spent only $250 million on achieving the goal that’s why the entire world is surprised over this marvelous achievement.

He informed that people were making mockery of us over my efforts to enrich uranium through a simple centrifuge machine but the world is now evident that we have achieved our task. He said that he did not get any type of assistance any foreigner in this task.

Responding to harsh criticism leveled against him, leading Pakistan scientist Dr Samar Mubarakmand claimed that Dr Abdul Qadir Khan was still angry at him over the 1998 Chagai nuclear explosion.

I respect Dr Khan, but he should [explain] how have I committed intellectual dishonesty about the Thar Coal Project, Dr Samar Mubarakmand held, adding that the role played by Dr AQ Khan in nuclear proliferation had been devastating for Pakistan.

The outcome is obvious to all of us that Pakistan is still paying the price, while on the other hand the United States is making a deal on peaceful nuclear technology.

Responding to a query regarding flaming gas from the coal reservoirs in Thar, Dr Mubarakmand was of the opinion that in order to produce electricity from coal a gas fund would be required to set up a power generation plant.

We have proved that gas could be produced from coal, but now we need [a] plant to generate power as we are left with no funds to do so, the scientist attested.

Over six channels have made documentaries over flaming gas from coal wells and tens of thousands of people would have seen them. Those who are opposing this project are actually not harming me but damaging Pakistan. If the Thar Coal Project was started a couple of years back then today Pakistan would have been self-sufficient to export oil to generate power.

Earlier, there were news that the 100 MW Thar coal power project based on gasification may be shelved as the government may not extend more funds for the project after the technical audit report completed by experts headed by Gen (Retd) Shahid Niaz, member monitoring in the Planning Commission.

The audit report which sources in Planning Commission disclosed, has been submitted with the Planning Commission mentioned that there was no flame coming out of the Thar coal Bloc-5 where Dr Samar Mubarakmand was given the assignment to initiate the a power house based on gasification as a pilot project.

Much has been created against Thar Coal project that its future seems in doldrums.

Dr Samar said replying on Planning Commission report said that “I was given the task to install 100 MW project based on Thar coal gasification. In its first phase the project was allocated $ 11 million under which the gas was to be generated from Thar coal under the ground. We dug out 38 gas wells there and we fired underground one well and from other well we started receiving the gas which was shown by almost all the electronic media. And soon we are going to again fire the 6 well in underground to generate the gas to show the masses that our claims are correct.”

Dr Samar said that oil lobby had become active to bulldoze this project as some high-ranking officials at the Planning Commission were working as stooge at the hands of powerful oil mafia.
