Coal is blessing to Sindh. A natural resource gift from Almighty. Sindh should respect and honor the importance of this resource. Coal may turn the economic scenario of the country, by planning, policy reforms, respect and security to international investors, entrepreneurs. Indonesia our friendly country has made fortune from coal mining. It is not only owning, and extraction of coal. But processing, as fasification, liquification of coal to make the use environment friendly. We could be a nation as resourceful as Saudi Arabia, but we have to see the model of Saudi Arabia its prosperity. It all depends with the consistent policy, respect, transparency of the Governmental policies. Our entire power generation can switch over to coal. I would also suggest to arrange a study tour of the International Energy Agency., Paris possibly on 19th July, 2011 which would be an Introduction to the International Energy Agency., Paris and a study tour. An introduction of the model of coal reserves and the global body support to the cause would be great to the visit of honorable Chief Minister Sindh.
