The role of Pakistan Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (PCSIR) should be enhanced to materialize Thar Coal Project for ending energy crisis in the country. This was stated by Senator Karim Khawaja while talking to APP on Tuesday. “There is huge quantity of deposits of coal in Thar Sindh and exploiting such deposits would resolve energy crisis by generating electricity at cheap rate in the country”, Khawaja said. He said that Fuel Research Centre working under PCSIR can provide the better services including technical assistance to stakeholders of Thar Coal Project and in addition, focus on Research and Development On Underground Gasification of Coal (UGC). Besides, empowering the PCSIR by resolving all issues including funding for its operations and research would help ending energy crisis, Senator Karim Khawaja said.
