She also urged the adoption of cutting-edge solar technology. In Phase I, with a budget allocation of Rs 12.6 billion, solar systems will be provided to 50,000 protected consumers, who utilize 100 units monthly, through a balloting process.
Each system will comprise advanced solar panels, inverters, batteries, and other necessary accessories.

After being elected as the province’s first female Chief Minister, Maryam Nawaz has taken various initiatives for public welfare. Earlier this month, the CM approved the launch of the “Apni Chhat, Apna Ghar” project in the province.
Under this initiative, over three thousand houses will be constructed for low-income families in each district of Punjab.
