Rubies, the buried treasures of Azad Kashmir

[Burhan Wani]

The people of Azad Kashmir are sitting on a treasure chest: Millions of rubies, estimated to be worth up to half a billion dollars, are lying beneath them. But archaic tools and a lack of investment in infrastructure and techniques are hampering efforts to transform the area into a significant player in the gem industry.

You're forgetting corruption and greed of our politicians will not allow Pakistan to benefit from this treasure.

 

[Azadkashmir]

Thank god no one will dig it. we don't need corruption.

 

[war&peace]

Pakistan is full of treasures but unfortunately we are ruled by the most corrupt and dishonest traitors who will sell everything including their mothers for a good enough price.

I agree $_$

Not worth the environmental damage. Besides Sri Lanka, Africa and Burma dominate the industry

 

[Arsalan]

Half a billion dollar? That is it??

Not sure if commercial.industrial digging will be viable for this small amount.

Ah ! The Mountains of Kashmir, they always surprise me

Half billion worth of stones isn't ideal for big investments.
