A huge deposit of gold has been discovered in the Indus River in the Attock district of the Punjab province of Pakistan. The Geological Survey of Pakistan has also confirmed the details.
The Indus River flows through Pakistan and reaches the Himalayas. There are many movements of tectonic plates under the Indus River and the Himalayas. As a result of those actions, gold atoms are formed there. They enter the river basin of Pakistan via the Indus River. As a result of the continuous flow of the Indus River over hundreds of years, all these gold atoms have accumulated at various places in the river valley.
According to the Geological Survey of Pakistan, the gold mine in the river.
- 32.6 tonnes of gold reserves
- 18 thousand crores or 600 billion Pakistani rupees
- Gold reserves within a radius of 32 km
- Gold deposits in Punjab Province, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Peshawar Basin, Mardan Basin
Meanwhile, gold mining has begun. Illegal mining has been banned in those areas. However, mining will be done in mines under the auspices of the government. Punjab Province Mines Minister Ibrahim Hasan has announced..
It is being said that Pakistan is moving ahead with this gold mine. In Pakistan, on the one hand, prices of essential commodities and fuel have increased, making life difficult for people. On the other hand, many people, soldiers and security personnel are losing their lives in series of terrorist attacks. Against this backdrop, the news of the revelation of gold reserves has raised new hopes about Pakistan’s future.
If the process of gold extraction starts, Pakistan’s economy has a chance to get new wings. They are trying to reduce the debt burden on the country. There is talk that the value of Pakistan’s currency will strengthen to some extent, the prices of essential commodities and fuel will come down and the common man will get relief.
