The Sindh government on Monday decided to install a 300 million gallon desalination plant.

Hub Power Company (Hubco) proposed that a 300 million gallon desalination plant be installed to deal with Karachi's water crisis during a meeting chaired by Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah.

The Sindh chief minister chaired a meeting of the Sindh cabinet and  discussed the installation of a desalination plant as well as mulled over a ban on plastic bags.

According to authorities, the desalination plant will be installed near Hub.

The Sindh CM also sought help from Hubco to generate electricity from garbage in Karachi.
