Pakistan: Kohat Cement has started commercial operation of a 105t/hr cement mill at its plant. The cement producer operates a single integrated plant at Kohat-Rawalpindi. It is also upgrading the site with a new 7800t/day production line.

Pakistan: Local residents have protested about air pollution from the Kohat Cement plant. They demanded that the plant install air filters as soon as possible, according to the Dawn newspaper. The protestors also alleged that the company’s employment of local workers had dropped to 5% from 75% following its sale. The cement company says that it has hired a Chinese engineering firm to run a survey of its emissions. In 2016 the Environmental Protection Agency ordered Kohat Cement to stop production as its dust control unit was ‘out of order.’
