The project will not only ensure uninterrupted power supply to the farmers but also help address the issue of losses in the power sector.
The premier noted that the people of Balochistan and the entire country are bearing the brunt of the losses in the power sector. He directed to address the matter on priority basis.
Imran Khan said effective and appropriate use of subsidy is the foremost priority of the government.
بلوچستان کے سماجی و معاشی حالات کو مد نظر رکھتے ہوئے حکومت کی جانب سے ٹیوب ویلوں کی مد میں اربوں روپے کی سبسڈی فراہم کے باوجود بھی جہاں کسان مشکلات کا شکار ہیں وہاں گردشی قرضوں میں مسلسل اضافہ ہو رہا ہے۔
