Gadani

Gadani (Urdu: گڈانی) is a coastal town of Hub District[1] located in the southern part of Balochistan along the Arabian Sea, Pakistan.The first radiocarbon dates obtained from these middens indicate they result from the activity of people who settled along the coast both during the seventh and the fifth millennium before present.[3] In August 2013, Pakistani Government announced to establish ten coal power plants of total capacity of 6,600 MW with technical and financial assistance mostly from China.[5] The Ciner Group of Turkey has agreed to immediately start work on a 660 MW coal power plant at Gadani.The recent reduction in taxes on scrap metal has led to a modest resurgence of output at Gadani, which now employs around 6,000 workers.
