Chairman, Fort Munro Development Authority

Fort Munro, also known as Tuman Leghari , is a hill station, located at a height of 6,470 feet above sea level in Dera Ghazi Khan. It attracts many people for short stays during the hot summer. 

It is around 85 kilometres from Dera Ghazi Khan city, Punjab, Pakistan and about 185 kilometres from Multan in Sulaiman Mountain range. 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.

In order to promote and develop tourism facilities in the region of Fort Munro, Dera Ghat Khan, the Government of Punjab has established the Fort Munro Development Authority. One of the key 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 its rich environmental assets.

I am honored and thankful to Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif for entrusting me with the Chairmanship of this project as it is close to my heart and background.
