All sources, including traditional and alternate, are being used to overcome this crisis. About 4,000 schools will be shifted to solar energy during the next year.

He expressed these views while addressing a seminar on the topic of “Energy Crisis in Pakistan, International Context and Potential Solutions” organised by Lahore Leads University, according to a handout issued on Thursday. Pro-Vice Chancellor Prof. Dr. Munawar Sultana, energy experts, and a large number of teachers and students were also present.
