Chairman of Air Karachi and former Vice President of the Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce Hanif Gohar has revealed that there is gold worth $636 billion in the soil of Tarbela Dam.
Talking to journalists, Hanif Gohar said that this information has been formally presented to the Army Chief and he has responded positively to this briefing.
Hanif Gohar said that divers collected soil samples from inside the Tarbela Dam which were later tested in the laboratory. Based on these results, experts estimated that the gold in the dam soil is worth about $636 billion, enough to pay off Pakistan’s external debt.
Hanif Gohar said that he had offered WAPDA that if it wanted to start this project itself, his company was ready to help, otherwise his team was ready to invest and extract the gold and hand it over to the government.
He said that talks had also been held with Dutch dredging experts, Amsterdam and Canadian partners in this regard.
He added that “if the government gives us permission, we can start this project immediately.”
This gold is so much that Pakistan’s external debt can be paid, Hanif Gohar said.
