FORT MUNRO​

Fort Munro is a beautiful hill station located approximately 85km away from DG Khan at a height of 6,470 feet above sea level. The Leghari Group have aimed to develop a regional and Strategic Master Plan for Fort Munro to help carve the long-term objectives in order to exploit the potential of this area. The people of Fort Munro are nomads, especially of the Leghari tribe. Fort Munro can be reached either from Loralai Balochistan or from Multan (Punjab). From Punjab, the mountain range starts near Rakhni, which is a border-post between Balochistan and Punjab. The Japanese government, on the request of President Farooq Leghari, conducted the first survey for the Japanese Steel Bridge in 1996. A grant was approved, but the project was shelved. 20 years later, the project was executed under CPEC by the PML-N govt after reassurances of tribal security for foreign engineers by the Leghari Group/Tribe. It connects the Eastern and Western Routes of CPEC and is the gateway between Punjab and Balochistan; ushering in a new era of regional connectivity. To promote and develop tourism facilities in the region of Fort Munro, Dera Ghazi Khan, the Government of Punjab has established the Fort Munro Development Authority. One of the critical targets of the authority is to develop and implement a regional & Strategic Master Plan for the area towards a long-term objective of fully harnessing the tourism and economic potential of this area. While maintaining its Indigenous character and protection of its rich environmental assets. In the development side of Fort Munro, new metaled roads and the Solid waste management team worked day and night to keep the streets clean for the people. In addition to this street lights were also installed in the area.
