The Punjab government has decided to provide solar energy solutions to 1023 Basic Health Units (BHUs) throughout the province and a summary for approval has been forward to the Planning and Development (P&D) department, said sources. According to the sources, the Punjab government has already allocated Rs1.35 billion budget for this purpose.
The P&D department would soon prepare a PC-I of the project to materialise the government decision, the sources added.
