Govt pledges more security for Balochistan's Saindak copper and gold mine amid anti-terror operations

The Pakistani government has vowed to bolster security at the Saindak copper and gold mine in Balochistan amidst ongoing anti-terror operations, countering claims by the Financial Times that the project might shut down soon. The mine's operator has denied these reports, emphasizing their commitment to continuing operations. This pledge is crucial as Saindak is a significant source of revenue and employment in the region, and heightened security measures aim to mitigate the threat of militant attacks, ensuring stability and investment in the area.
