MURREE – The Punjab government has thrown open the ultra luxurious Government House Murree to public in continuation of the austerity drive promised by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf.
Addressing a ceremony in this regard, Chief Minister Punjab Usman Buzdar urged the need for promotion of tourism in Punjab for prosperity of the province.
“Soon Punjab will be a hub of tourism. For all those interested in history, culture, art and craft and the treasures that this land offers. The government looks at tourism not just as a soft image of Pakistan but also as a key source of revenue generation,” the chief minster said in his address on Monday.

We have already opened 177 Govt rest-houses of different departments. These facilities are a reminder for public about how our taxes were misused for lavish lifestyle of previous rulers, the chief minister said in a tweet.
Chief Spokesperson of Usman Buzdar, Dr Shahbaz Gill also took to social media and shared videos of different sections of the government house Murree, taking aim at the previous rulers.
