                                Karak District is one of Pakistan's richest districts in terms of mineral wealth, with vast reserves of hydrocarbons (oil and gas), rock salt, and other non-metallic minerals contributing significantly to the national economy. While this natural abundance has fueled industrial growth and employment, it has also raised concerns about environmental sustainability and equitable distribution of wealth.
