Talking to the delegation, the chief minister said that the provincial government has taken practical steps to solve the long-standing problems of the landlords.
We are trying to complete the work on this project in a month to switch the tube wells to solar energy, he said.
He said that by the time this project was fully implemented, 6 hours of electricity supply would be ensured to the farmers and for the implementation of this project, he would make a joint action plan together with the landowners.
The chief minister emphasized that the provincial government should transfer the certified tube wells to solar energy with the cooperation of the landowners.
He said that legislation would also be made for the complete elimination of illegal connections, for which the government would also pass an act from the Balochistan Assembly so that no illegal connections could be made again under any circumstances.
Now it is our responsibility to complete the implementation of this important project, he said.
