According to a report, Maryam Nawaz also instructed the authorities to take a historic step by transforming 170 historic sites in the province into world-class tourist centers, including 101 gurdwaras and 53 churches, the mapping of which has already been completed.
After five months of hard work, Maryam Nawaz’s vision is being put into practice under the leadership of Senior Provincial Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb, who has approved all the proposed projects as the minister responsible for this initiative.
