NOKUNDI: The Reko Diq Mining Company (RDMC) has reaffirmed its commitment to prioritizing local employment, particularly for youth in nearby villages such as Durbin Chah.
Ali Dost Yalanzai, RDMC’s Community Engagement Manager, emphasized the company’s policy to offer job opportunities to the local population on a preferential basis. “We are determined to find sustainable solutions to unemployment and ensure that local communities are active partners in the journey of progress,” he stated during a visit to Durbin Chah.
