Bahadurkhel Village, District Kohat North West Frontier India Present day District, Karak Kpk. Pakistan.
Date: c.1928.
Bahadur Khel, a salt-mine in the Kohat district of the North-West Frontier Province, in the range of hills south of the village of Bahadur Khel between Kohat and Bannu.
For a space of 4 m. in length by a quarter of a mile in breadth there exists an exposed mass of rock-salt with several large hillocks of salt on either side. The quarries extend over an area 1 m. long by half a mile broad, and the salt is hewn out in large blocks with picks and wedges.
The British Indian government formerly maintained a large preventive establishment for the preservation of the revenue, but it was withdrawn in 1898. Consumption of Kohat salt is restricted, on account of its paying less duty, to the tracts lying to the north of the Indus and to the frontier tribes.
In 1903 the rate was fixed at R.1½ per maund, against R.2 for the rest of India. The mines are under the control of the Northern India Salt Department.

The meeting was attended by Finance Minister Shaukat Tareen, Minister for Industries and Production Khusro Bakhtyar, Commerce Adviser Abdul Razak Dawood, Special Assistant to PM (SAPM) on Health Dr Faisal Sultan, SAPM on Political Communication Dr Shahbaz Gill, CEO Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan (DRAP) Asim Rauf, representatives of pharmaceutical and salt sectors and senior officials.
PM Khan was briefed on the potential of diversification of exports, especially in salt and pharmaceutical sectors. He was briefed that Pakistan was blessed with all types of salt available in the world including rock salt, sea salt and lake salt.
With a reserve size of 6.2 billion tonnes, Khewra Salt Mine is the second largest salt range in the world. Pakistan has also sea salt reserves along 1,050 kilometre long coastline.
Almost 60 per cent of total 350 million tonnes global salt consumption is made by the chemical industry.
Pakistan’s current annual salt production is 4m tonnes, whereas just 0.3m tonnes are being exported each year.
The government of Balochistan and Hub Salt have initiated a new Solar Salt project to tap Pakistan’s huge potential in salt export. This new Solar Salt Project will be the world’s largest salt works facility and will boost the salt exports by $400m in 2023 and will continue to grow by $200m per annum in subsequent years.

It's a shame to hear that Pakistan's export earnings from pink salt are diminishing, but it's great to know that there are other sources of salt available in unexplored areas. I agree that it's important for Pakistan to take a holistic view of the commodity trade and develop a salt strategy based on local production and world trends.

Speaking of strategy, have you heard about the Care and maintenance Of Crown Traveling Block? It's an important aspect of maintaining equipment used in the mining industry, including traveling blocks which are essential for drilling and exploration.
If Pakistan wants to develop new mines, it's crucial that they take proper care of their equipment to ensure maximum efficiency and safety.
