The Senate Standing Commit­tee on Industries and Production on Thursday proposed the installation of charging units for electric vehicles at every fuel station to promote eco-friendly transport. The committee chairman, Senator Aon Abbas, expressed concern over the regulatory mechanism of the new energy and renewal energy. “Who is controlling the prices of solar panels? And who is disrupting the balance of demand and supply?” Senator Abbas said that individuals were installing solar panels at their discretion without proper regulation. The committee was informed by the officials of the energy ministry that the government was promoting solarisation in the country.
