Governor Balochistan Malik Abdul Wali Kakar has said that Pakistan is facing energy crisis and there is dire need to overcome it. Addressing a ceremony in Quetta on Monday, the Governor said that our engineers have the ability to bring more projects of solar energy.
He stressed the need to promote science and technology sector to put country on path of progress and prosperity. It is worth mentioned here that the rise in global oil prices, devaluation of the Pakistani rupee, and the domestic political and economic crisis in Pakistan are propelling the state towards becoming energy insecure.
It noted that Pakistan has become heavily dependent upon energy exports. However, it still needs to find alternatives if it wants to overcome its energy insecurity and meet its domestic energy demand. If left unchecked, the current energy crisis will devastate the already struggling economy of Pakistan.—Our Correspondent
