What is the price of human life in Pakistan??????? This was a time when government had to use all its resources day and night to save the survivors under rubble and media, NGOs and labour unions had to pressurise for full use of health and safety procedures by mine companies. Alas, its totally opposite, majority are emphasing on issues that sell more for; after all human life saving is the least to be bothered in this part of the world.

This is another case non-representation of labors in the form union to neegotiate their safe work environment. It is also criminal act when despite inspectors warning of impending disaster was ignored. I beleive Mine management should be tried for murder and a hefty compensation be paid to the victims. So next time such people think twice before continue to ignore such warnings.

It's a shame when miners die anywhere in the world. Whether it is Chile, China, Russia or the United States many miners have been killed in the last year. I would never do this job since it is so dangerous but to blame mining in Pakistan alone just shows how some people in Pakistan have no idea of how dangerous this job is - everywhere.
