Sharigh Colliery
The 'Sharigh Colliery', supplied coal to the North Western Railway(NWR) and opened in 1894. The other collieries supplying NWR were the Dandot Colliery, the Khost Colliery [1] and the Bhaganwala Colliery [2].
The Colliery was situated in the 'Khost-Sharigh-Harnai Coal Belt' some 30-40 mile (48-64km) east of Quetta, and at an altitude of about 4,000 feet(1,200 metres). These coal mines were approachable from the Sibi-Zardalu section of the NWR [3].
