The life of a Pakistani coal miner
Workers at this mine in Choa Saidan Shah dig
coal with pick axes, break it up and load it onto donkeys to be transported to
the surface. Employed by private contractors, a team of four workers can dig
about a ton of coal a day, for which they earn around $10 to be split between
them. The coalmine is in the heart of Punjab, Pakistan’s most populous and
richest province, but the labourers mostly come from the poorer neighbouring
region of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
