LAHORE, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 26th Jan, 2025) Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has underscored the crucial role of clean and renewable energy for the survival of our planet, calling it an urgent necessity of our time.
In her message on the International Day of Clean Energy, being celebrated on Sunday, the CM stated, "Clean and renewable energy is vital for our survival and the need of the hour." She reaffirmed Punjab's commitment to phasing out fossil fuels and ushering in a new era of clean and green energy.
To modernize the province's energy infrastructure, she introduced the CM solar panel program, which aims to replace traditional energy sources with sustainable alternatives. "The CM solar panel program will ease the economic burden on citizens and bring a revolution to the energy sector," she noted.
Additionally, the government has launched a solarization project for agricultural tube wells, ensuring that farmers have access to affordable and clean energy for their agricultural needs. "This initiative will provide farmers with sustainable, cost-effective energy, boosting agricultural productivity," the CM remarked.
Addressing the transport sector, the CM highlighted significant steps taken to introduce clean energy solutions. "We are introducing the E-Vehicle regime in Punjab to reduce smoke and pollution," she stated.
In a bid to promote eco-friendly transportation among students, Maryam Nawaz revealed that e-bikes have been distributed to students. These bikes are not only environmentally friendly but also help reduce fuel costs. "These e-bikes will empower students to live a green and cost-efficient lifestyle," she added.
On the public transport front, Punjab has recently procured 27 electric buses, with plans to order 500 more, marking a significant shift toward electrified public transportation. "This will further reduce emissions and improve the public transport system in the province," the CM said.
Maryam Nawaz also spoke about the government's pioneering approach in introducing Pakistan's first-ever comprehensive environmental policy, where clean energy is a core focus. "Clean energy is a key component of this policy, aimed at safeguarding the environment for future generations," she emphasized.
The CM further noted that several government offices, including the Chief Minister’s office, have already transitioned to renewable energy sources. "This shift will cut down energy consumption and set an example for other departments to follow," she remarked. "Clean energy guarantees a bright and secure future for generations to come," she concluded.
