LAHORE: The Punjab government has decided to concentrate on alternative energy sources and is making efforts to shift all public universities to solar power by the year’s end. This was stated by Punjab Energy Minister Dr Akhtar Malik in a departmental meeting held on Wednesday.

The minister said that 345 government schools in Dera Ghazi Khan division would completely be shifted to solar power by November 2019.

All big public sector universities will be shifted to solar energy by the end of the current year, while offices and hospitals would soon follow suit. “Everywhere in the world, countries are shifting their energy needs to alternative energy sources and Pakistan should not be left behind.”
