The Murree district administration has installed modern and colorful decorative lights at the Deputy Commissioner’s Office and PIA Park as part of Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif’s “Bright and Roshan Punjab” vision.
The initiative is aimed at improving the visual appearance of Murree and creating a more attractive and welcoming environment for residents and tourists visiting the hill station.
According to officials, the lighting arrangements were made on the directions of the Deputy Commissioner Murree. The Additional Deputy Commissioner Murree and the Managing Director of the Parks and Horticulture Authority (PHA) coordinated the installation of the decorative lighting at the two selected locations.
The newly installed lights are expected to enhance the appearance of public spaces, particularly during the evening and nighttime hours. Officials said the project forms part of broader efforts to improve the overall presentation of important public areas in the city.
Focus on Tourism and Public Spaces
Murree is one of Pakistan’s most popular tourist destinations and attracts visitors from different parts of the country throughout the year. The city is particularly known for its scenic mountain landscape, pleasant weather and recreational attractions.
Officials said improving the appearance of public spaces can contribute to a better experience for tourists visiting the city. The decorative lighting at the Deputy Commissioner’s Office and PIA Park is therefore expected to add to the visual appeal of these locations.
The administration said the initiative is also aligned with the Punjab government’s broader vision of improving public spaces and making cities more attractive through beautification and development projects.
‘Bright and Roshan Punjab’ Vision
The lighting project has been carried out under the “Bright and Roshan Punjab” vision associated with Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif. The initiative focuses on enhancing the appearance of public areas through improved lighting, cleanliness and beautification measures.
For Murree, the administration has focused on locations that are frequently seen by residents and visitors. The installation of colorful lights at the Deputy Commissioner’s Office and PIA Park is expected to provide a more vibrant appearance after sunset.
The project also highlights the role of local administrations in implementing provincial government initiatives at the district level. Officials from the district administration and PHA worked together to arrange the lighting facilities.
More Attractive Environment for Visitors
According to the administration, the main objective is to provide tourists with a pleasant environment while improving the appearance of Murree’s important public spaces.
The city receives a large number of visitors, especially during periods when weather conditions are favorable for tourism. As a result, authorities have continued to focus on improving facilities and maintaining the visual appeal of prominent areas.
Officials said the new lighting arrangements would make the selected locations more visually appealing and contribute to the overall atmosphere of the city.
The administration also emphasized the importance of maintaining Murree as an attractive destination for domestic tourism. With its natural beauty and established tourism infrastructure, the city remains an important destination for visitors traveling to northern Punjab.
Beautification Efforts Continue
The installation of decorative lights is part of ongoing beautification efforts aimed at improving public spaces in Murree. Authorities said such projects can help create cleaner, brighter and more attractive surroundings for both local communities and tourists.
The administration is expected to continue working on initiatives designed to improve the appearance of recreational and public areas across the city.
The latest lighting project at the Deputy Commissioner’s Office and PIA Park represents a relatively small but visible step under the Punjab government’s broader beautification vision.
With Murree remaining one of Pakistan’s major tourist destinations, officials believe improvements to public spaces and nighttime lighting can further enhance the city’s appeal and provide visitors with a more pleasant experience.
