LAHORE  : The Punjab govt in collaboration with private sector will install 100 solar panel tube-wells in different districts of the province in the first phase and then extend it after keeping in view its performance across Punjab. The Agriculture department sources told APP on Sunday that the tube-wells would be installed in those districts where water level was about 50 to 80 feet. The govt would provide 80 percent subsidy to small farmers on the installation of these tube-wells while they would bear 20pc cost in this regard.
   The aim of installation of solar panel tube-wells is to facilitate small farmers who have less than 12.5 acre land so that they could not face energy crisis, sources added.
