00:00 Now when we talk about benefits, and Faisal, this is big news for you
00:04 because you are very fond of travelling around the country
00:08 especially in Peshawar, for the first time, night tourism is going to be implemented
00:14 meaning you can see beautiful places even at night
00:18 as a tourist you can travel around
00:20 so the tour of historical places of Peshawar
00:23 along with the local dishes and music
00:26 you will also get the chance to enjoy those
00:29 with the help of the Pak army, the Archeology department
00:32 and Tour de Peshawar is going to implement night tourism for the first time
00:37 and in this event, the people will be allowed to visit the historical places of Peshawar
00:41 and in different zahirists, there will be such events
00:44 through which people will benefit
00:46 now when we talk about Peshawar, we think of Qila Balahasar
00:50 we think of Qissa Khani Bazar
00:52 and we think of the food street
00:56 and it's maintenance is also being done
01:00 I know that night safari is done in many countries
01:03 night tourism is going to be implemented in Pakistan for the first time
01:06 and that's why it's a surprise
01:08 because it's the same in the rest of the world
01:10 you can go to any country of the world
01:12 and you can go at night
01:14 and it's a very good initiative
01:17 now when will this start?
01:19 let's talk about this
01:22 we have with us the DG of Archeology and Museum
01:25 Dr. Abdul Samad
01:27 thank you so much Dr. Abdul Samad
01:29 the question is that
01:31 Faisal has also asked
01:33 we are so excited
01:35 that night tourism is going to start
01:37 Peshawar has its own culture
01:39 its own language, its own food
01:41 and tourism
01:43 so please tell us
01:45 this idea is very unique
01:47 and we would also like to reach other cities
01:49 so when is this going to start?
01:52 and how much security will people have to give?
01:55 so please tell us when is this going to start?
01:58 thank you so much for taking me on this topic
02:03 actually do you know Peshawar?
02:06 it's one of the oldest living cities of South Asia
02:09 it's a 2500 year old city
02:11 so Heritage by Night is starting a program
02:14 the program is starting from tomorrow
02:16 it's starting from 30th March
02:18 thanks to Pakistan Army
02:20 we are starting with the help of Pakistan Army
02:23 especially the Corps Commander Peshawar
02:25 he has a lot of personal interest
02:27 because of which we have a lot of
02:29 besides the Heritage by Night program
02:31 other sites like Jamroth Fort
02:33 for Sikhs
02:35 it's a very sacred place
02:37 we have started conservation work on that
02:39 where there is a Samadhi of Hari Singh Nalwa
02:42 there is a Shapola Super near the Pakistan border
02:44 on Khaybar Trail
02:46 we have started that with Pakistan Army
02:49 so Heritage by Night
02:51 is a World Bank program
02:53 in which we have illuminated
02:55 3-4 major archaeological sites of Peshawar
02:57 at night
02:59 you might have seen the photos on the screen
03:01 so for this we have also opened
03:03 the night for tourists
03:05 because people are busy during the day
03:07 so besides Heritage
03:09 the intangible heritage
03:11 we are trying to give that
03:13 to the people
03:15 so we have a program
03:17 in which music will be added after Ramzan
03:19 and the existing archaeological sites
03:21 museum will be visited
03:23 and the famous Peshawar dishes
03:25 Tikka will be included in this package
03:27 you mentioned the History Museum
03:29 Pakistan Army has also supported
03:31 and helped a lot on that
03:33 work has already started on that
03:35 from tomorrow
03:37 the Corps Commander is reviving the History Museum
03:39 and the Bazaar
03:41 so it will be a value added place for tourists
03:43 not only during the day but also at night
03:45 you can visit
03:47 absolutely
03:49 Dr. Sir, in the initial phase
03:51 you are starting from Peshawar
03:53 do you have any plans to expand it further
03:55 because Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is very beautiful
03:57 and
03:59 as you mentioned
04:01 Jamrud Fort
04:03 which is very sacred for our community
04:05 in our Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
04:07 the Buddha sites
04:09 are very beautiful
04:11 so in the future
04:13 do you have any similar plans
04:15 for the same like in Peshawar
04:17 absolutely
04:19 we have more than 20,000
04:21 archaeological sites only in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
04:23 in which
04:25 there are 2000 early Buddhist sites
04:27 in which Jamalgadi and Takhtbai
04:29 will be illuminated
04:31 from next month
04:33 the project has been approved
04:35 World Bank is sponsoring it
04:37 so
04:39 Takhtbai and Jamalgadi
04:41 which is a World Heritage Site
04:43 will be included in the next month
04:45 you mentioned Jamrud Fort
04:47 I think it is equally important
04:49 like we have Kartar Corridor
04:51 so Jamrud Fort is equally important for the Sikhs
04:53 but now
04:55 its conservation is going on
04:57 its conservation is completed
04:59 so it will be illuminated at night
05:01 and it will be opened to the tourists
05:03 at night and during the day
05:05 Thank you so much Dr. Abdus Salman
