SUKKUR: Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah on Saturday distributed ‘solar home systems’ to people in Sukkur during a programme on Saturday.

The programme aims at alleviating the burden of electricity costs on low-income households. The initiative is part of the Sindh Solar Energy Project that targets 200,000 households, providing them with solar systems, including a solar plate, fan, three bulbs, battery back-up and a mobile charger.

The CM praised Sindh Energy Minister Syed Nasir Hussain Shah for advancing the programme, with 50,000 solar systems having already arrived and another 50,000 expected soon.

The CM emphasised the importance of green and clean energy, highlighting the success of the Thar coal project and ongoing solar and wind energy projects in Sindh.

He expressed confidence that the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) will emerge victorious in the 2029 elections, emphasising that votes are earned through performance, not propaganda.

The ceremony was also attended by Sukkur Mayor Barrister Arslan Islam Sheikh and others.
