Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Wednesday said that the Government is constructing 26 coal-based power projects across the country to deal with electricity crisis, private channel reported on Wednesday.

He was addressing the foundation-stone laying ceremony of 130 km Mandra- Chakwal and Sohawa-Chakwal double roads in Punjab’s Chakwal district.
