Hopefully, you remember the slogan of Prime Minister Imran Khan regarding austerity drive and putting an end to VIP culture. Well relating to this narrative, the Murree governor house is now open for the general public. Chief Minister of Punjab, Sardar Usman Buzdar on Monday inaugurated the Governor House Murree for the public.
Speaking at the ceremony, the CM said that the ease of staying could be availed by paying dues. He further said that inauguration of this house for the people was a pleasant occasion. Alteration of government buildings into rest houses is the beginning of abolishing VIP culture, he added.
Chief Minister of Punjab, Sardar Usman Buzdar said that the development of tourism is a prime agenda of the current government. He also asserted how the tourism sector was ignored in the tenure of past governments.
He said that the motive behind the opening of government houses for the general public is solely for the promotion of tourism. He stated that for the first time the historical building is opened for the general public and for the unofficial use. The CM further told that the golden jubilee of this Governor House was convened fifteen years ago and numerous international personages have stayed in this historic building.

Pakistan Tehreek E Insaf Government has initiated its drive against VIP culture. As per an official of PTI, the Prime Minister, Imran Khan has spurred the austerity drive by not living in Prime Minister House but in an adjacent small house.
Chief Minister of Punjab, Sardar Usman Buzdar also said that camping sites, safari and paragliding experiences will also be held to develop tourism.
The CM Punjab stated that the double-decker buses will be launched soon in Multan and Dera Ghazi Khan, and the CM also expected that a great number of domestic and foreign tourists will be drawn through such actions, which will enhance the foreign exchange of the country. Besides, he asserted that these initiatives will help in creating employment opportunities for local residents.
Indeed, this a good step of the PTI government and it will definitely help in soaring the tourism and ending the VIP culture in the land of pure. However, hopefully, the opening of such government building will not make them vulnerable from the general public and the eminence of the building will be protected.
