Punjab CM Approves First Sky Glass Bridge and Tourism Projects in Murree
Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has approved the construction of the province’s first sky glass bridge in Kotli Sattian, Murree, to boost tourism. The decision emerged from a special meeting jointly presided over by PML-N President Nawaz Sharif and the Chief Minister, which reviewed the Murree Protection and Rehabilitation Plan. Key initiatives include engaging international experts to address landslides, establishing three new hospitality zones for five-star hotels, and launching a glamping village and paragliding club at Chewra Hill. The administration also mandated immediate relief for landslide-affected areas and set a one-month deadline to begin work on the Murree Glass Train project. Infrastructure improvements involve widening major roads and developing new parks, a zoological garden, and wildlife conservation facilities. Additionally, a feasibility report for a bulk water supply scheme from the River Jhelum is due by April 30, while rainwater harvesting systems have already been implemented in over 187,000 homes. The meeting also approved the creation of Punjab’s first Facility Management Unit to oversee provincial building maintenance.
