Karachi: The Sindh Minister for Alternative Energy Imtiaz Ahmed Shaikh said that 200 villages and 5,000 schools in rural areas will be provided with solar power, according to a news report. He said that Sindh has various resources for generating renewable energy which can cater to the power needs of the country by generating thousands of megawatts of electricity.
