Damdama’s rooftop to turn into food point

Step will highlight Multan’s culture and promote tourism

MULTAN:

The local administration has decided to open a model food point at the roof top of Damdama, the highest place in the heart of Multan.

The visitors would be able to enjoy food at the historical Qasim Fort mound once the food point becomes operational.

Commissioner Javed Akhtar Mahmood said the step would add to the charm of the city of saints and bids have been invited from famous food companies to open their outlets at Damdama.

Mahmood said Damdama was among the historical buildings that decorated the ancient Qasim Fort mound along with the mausoleum of Bahauddin Zakariya Multani and mausoleum of Shah Rukne Alam.

“It was, however, demolished and replaced by a modern structure that also housed an art gallery depicting the history and heritage of Multan that is considered among the oldest living cities on earth,” he said.

The commissioner highlighted that the Metropolitan Corporation Multan (MCM) would hold the auction on November 4 to develop Damdama roof-top as a family restaurant.

“It would add to the beauty of Multan and provide recreational facility to the citizens besides attracting tourists from other areas,” said Mahmood.

He continued that it would also help highlight Multan’s culture and promote tourism.

The commissioner said Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar has been taking concrete steps to promote tourism in Punjab.
