Pakistan Minerals Investment Forum to begin tomorrow
Reko Diq is nestled in the Chagai district of Balochistan, the largest district by area, with proximity to the Afghanistan and Iran borders.
The district is characterized by arid and semi-arid terrain with vast deserts, mountain ranges, and sparse vegetation.
The desert includes the Ras Koh Hills and the Chagai Hills. The district has a sparse population due to its harsh living conditions. The majority of the inhabitants are Baloch, with a mix of other ethnic groups.
Chagai faces numerous challenges, including underdevelopment, lack of infrastructure, and limited access to basic services such as education, healthcare, and clean water.
