MURREE: The Punjab government has launched an ambitious Rs. 4.5 billion development plan in Murree<\/a> to modernize\u00a0the hill station’s infrastructure and the<\/span> boost<\/span> it<\/span> will<\/span> give<\/span> to<\/span> tourism<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

It<\/span> is expected to be completed within 18 months with<\/span> the<\/span> government<\/span> chief<\/span> minister<\/span> overseeing<\/span> this<\/span> project<\/span>.<\/span> Kamran Lashari, the<\/span> Director-General of the Walled City of Lahore Authority<\/a> (WCLA), says<\/span> that<\/span> the main<\/span> idea<\/span> of<\/span> the<\/span> project<\/span> is<\/span> restoring the<\/span> old<\/span> sites and providing<\/span> better<\/span> facilities for visitors.<\/p>\n

Key restoration<\/span> will<\/span> be<\/span> undertaken<\/span> for<\/span> Mall Road<\/a> and General Post Office (GPO) to blend<\/span> traditional appeal<\/span> with<\/span> contemporary<\/span> facilities<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The government is also planning<\/span> to<\/span> launch<\/span> a glass train service<\/span> in Murree offering tourists an<\/span> experience<\/span> of<\/span> travel like<\/span> never<\/span> before<\/span>. The<\/span> glass<\/span> train<\/span> project is<\/span> committed<\/span> to<\/span> sustainable development to<\/span> protect<\/span> Murree’s natural environment while raising<\/span> its global<\/span> importance<\/span> as one<\/span> of<\/span> the<\/span> prime<\/span> tourist attractions<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile<\/span>, the WCLA is restoring the<\/span> historical sites in<\/span> Punjab–<\/span>such<\/span> as<\/span> Sufi shrines, gurdwaras, and churches. Work<\/span> has<\/span> been<\/span> in<\/span> hand<\/span> for<\/span> enabling<\/span> student visits to heritage sites, with<\/span> the<\/span> idea<\/span> of<\/span> promoting cultural awareness among<\/span> all<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The<\/span> increasing<\/span> numbers<\/span> of<\/span> international tourists, Sikh visitors included<\/span>, have<\/span> created<\/span> hope<\/span> that<\/span> such<\/span> initiatives will stimulate<\/span> the<\/span> economic growth of<\/span> Pakistan<\/span> and strengthen its<\/span> hand<\/span> as one<\/span> of<\/span> the<\/span> big<\/span> names<\/span> in<\/span> the<\/span> travel world<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Other developments<\/span> in Murree include setting up a new police station and subdivision, a new water supply scheme, and 3.5 lakh fruit trees planted<\/span>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
