Tide has turned! Cow dung to power buses in Karachi

Islamabad, Feb 5: And the tables have turned! Pakistan has always pointed fingers at India for using cow dung or cow urine. But now the tide has suddenly turned over when Pakistan Minister for Climate Change Zartaj Gul said that the Imran Khan-led government is planning to generate energy from cow dung available at Bhains colony to power buses in Karachi.

 

 

Briefing the Senate on government initiatives, she said the government plans to produce energy from cow dung that is available at Karachi's Bhains colony to power buses in the metropolis. Gul said that the diesel and petrol being imported in the country was Euro Five quality — and the amount of Sulfur in it was 5%.

 

This indicates that it is only India who is trying to aid the cow science but also the Pakistan government under the leadership of PM Khan. This is not the first time that a minister in Khan's cabinet has suggested this initiative. In 2019, Karachi had batted for a zero-emission Green Bus Rapid Transit to freshen its air and cut planet-warming emissions, It had said that the Pakistani port city of Karachi will introduce cleaner-running buses powered by cow dung.

 

Malik Amin Aslam, the advisor on climate change to Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, said the BRT system was the first transport project the Green Climate Fund had approved and would bring “multiple environmental and economic benefits”. It would not require operating subsidies, he added.

 

As a big surprise, Pakistan which going crisis in many aspects including economically has pledged to adopt India's cow science.
