Islamabad: Famous Nuclear scientist, Dr Samar Mubarak Mand has profoundly said that those who criticize Thar Coal Project lack the basic knowledge about it.
Dr Samar Mubarak spoke to saach.tv here on Sunday. He said that “I know Thar Coal as I know myself. I have been working on this project for last four years hence I am aware of all pros and cones.”
Yesterday, Abdul Qadir Khan criticized the Thar Coal project, Dr Samar commented “Dr Khan is very respectful to me. His services for the Pakistan are unprecedented but I think he knows little about Thar Coal Project’s feasibility.”
“There was a time when people used to say that we (Pakistanis) can never make nuclear bomb but we made it possible. Some people have adopted the same approach on Thar Coal Project too,” Dr Samar added.
When asked about the potential of Thar Coal he said “Its potential is proven. Everything is documented now. We have already started the gasification. Now it is up to those private companies who have taken the lease of Thar Coal fields that when they will start the mega project.”
Correspondent of saach.tv asked that if the gasification has started then what the hindrance is, over which Dr Samar said “the field which is allotted to me is only the one percent of the total Thar Coal. I have proved to the word that underground gasification is possible here. So now it is up to government and those private companies that how sincere they are with the future of Pakistan.”
When asked he told saach.tv correspondent “the Thar’s coal is in powder form and if you want to burn it in heaters then it is a poor quality but if you want to use it in underground gasification, it is no less than the best.”
He repeated that “I respect Dr Khan but one should highlight the positive aspects of any project.”
